Description

Technician dissecting a human brain. A technician slices a human brain into 1.5 centimetre thick sections. It has been donated for medical research at the Harvard Brain and Tissue Resource Centre, USA. Each brain is divided into two hemispheres. One half is preserved in formalin and stored for anatomical study. The other half is sliced into sections and frozen for genetic and biochemical study. The Harvard Brain and Tissue Resource Centre is the largest brain bank in the world. It stores over 3,000 healthy and diseased brains, which are available to researchers studying disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
