Brain Imaging

330
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biobanking
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Advancements in multiomics technologies drive collaborative research.
  • Increasing lifespans and brain disease incidence highlight the need for brain banks.
  • Brain banks are vital for studying brain disorder pathogenesis and therapy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review the evolution and global network of brain banking.
  • Outline the process of brain banking, from recruitment to distribution.
  • Discuss ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks in biobanking.

Main Methods:

  • Review of brain banking evolution and global networks.
  • Overview of donor recruitment, processing, storage, annotation, and distribution protocols.
  • Examination of ethical issues: consent, confidentiality, and commercialization.

Main Results:

  • The first Indian Brain Bank was established in 1995, with a network now expanding.
  • Ethical guidelines are being formulated by regulatory authorities, including India's ICMR.
  • Challenges and benefits of establishing national brain research facilities are presented.

Conclusions:

  • Brain banks transform biological waste into valuable neuroscience resources.
  • Public and professional perception of brain banking's advantages is essential for its growth.
  • Brain banks offer hope for future generations in overcoming untreatable neurological disorders like dementia.
