A center that works with the Oregon Alzheimer's Disease Center's Data Core, and collects and stores tissue samples, family history and genotype data of various populations. These include samples and data from subjects from the following sources: OADC clinical studies, the Oregon Brain Aging Study, the Community Brain Donor Program, the Preventing Cognitive Decline with Alternative Therapies program (informally called the Dementia Prevention Study or DPS), the African American Dementia and Aging Project, and the Klamath Exceptional Aging Project. The collected data samples include genomic DNA, lymphoblast cell lines, genome-wide and candidate region SNP marker data, APOE, AD candidate gene markers.

The Hungarian Society of Clinical Neurgenetics established a nationwide collaboration for prospective collection of human biological materials and databases from patient with neurological and psychiatric diseases. The basic triangle of the NEPSYBANK is the sample, the information and the study management. The present participants of the NEPSYBANK are the Department of Neurology and Psychiatry of the four Medical Universities (in Budapest, Debrecen, Pecs, Szeged) and the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Budapest. The NEPSYBANK is a disease based biobank collecting both phenotypical and environmental data and biological materials such as DNA/RNA, whole blood, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid, muscle / nerve / skin biopsy, brain, and fibroblast. The target of the diseases is presently (Phase I): stroke syndromes, dementias, movement disorders, motoneuron diseases, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, alcohol addiction. In the near future (Phase II.) it is planned to enlarge the scale with headaches, disorders of the peripheral nerves, disorders of neuromuscular transmission, disorders of skeletal muscle, depression, anxiety. DNA/RNA is usually extracted from whole blood, but occasionally different tissues such as muscle, brain etc. can be used as well. The extracting procedures differ among the institutes, but in all cases the concentration and the quality of the DNA/RNA must be registered in the database. Participating institutional biobanks have committed themselves to follow common quality standards, which provide access to samples after prioritization on scientific grounds only. In every case the following data are registered. 1. General data: main bank categories, age, sex, ethnicity, body height, body weight, economic stats, education, type of place of living, marital status, birth complications, alcohol, drugs, smoking. 2. Sample properties (sample ID, type of sample, date of extraction, concentration, and level of purity). General patient data as blood pressure, heart rate, internal medical status, ECG, additional diseases. Disease specific question e.g. in schizophrenia the diagnosis after DSMIV and ICD 10, detailed diagnostic questions after both classification, detailed psychiatric and neurological status, laboratory findings, rating scales, data of neuroimaging, genetic tests, applied medication (with generic name, dose, duration), adverse drug effects and other treatments. The Biobank Information Management System (BIMS) is responsible for linkage of databases containing information on the individual sample donors. If you want to have samples from the NEPSYBANK an application must be submitted containing the following information: short research plan including aims and study design, ethic application with a positive decision, specific demands regarding the right of disposition, agreements with grant organizations which regulate immaterial property, information about financing (academic grants, support from industry). All participants have the right to withdraw their samples through a simple order.

A brain bank which collects brain tissue from patients who died from various neurological and psychiatric diseases. These tissues are available for biochemical, molecular biological, and other work groups with the aim of supporting research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of these diseases. Collected brains are clinically and neuropathologically well-characterized. The collection and distribution of brain tissue samples is an ongoing process. NeuroBiobank Munich offers help with the organization and implementation of autopsies as well as with the neuropathologic diagnostics. The thematic emphasis of the NeuroBiobank Munich is Parkinson's disease and demential degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. NeuroBiobank Munich coordinates the German national brain tissue bank (BrainNet) and the European brain tissue bank (BrainNet Europe).

A brain bank which has obtained brains from individuals who suffered from some form of dementia. Clinical records and a family history are obtained for each donor in order to better understand each dementing illness and to work towards the improvement of diagnosing, treating, and preventing these diseases.

A research center associated with the University of Pittsburgh that specializes in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. The overall objective of the ADRC is to study the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, with the aim of improving the reliability of diagnosis of Alzheimer's and developing effective treatment strategies. Current research foci emphasize neuropsychiatry and neuropsychology, molecular genetics and epidemiology, basic neuroscience, and structural and functional imaging that aid in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Specific services at the ADRC include: comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia; evaluation of memory, language, judgment, and other cognitive abilities; and education and counseling for patients and families.

A brain autopsy program developed to serve the needs of Illinois families and individuals affected by dementing diseases and to advance dementia research by providing tissue to researchers studying dementing diseases. The SIU School of Medicine (SIU-SM) Dementia Brain Autopsy Program facilitates the postmortem process for families wishing to obtain an autopsy for a loved one. A brain autopsy provides family members with accurate information regarding the exact nature of their relative's dementia. This includes information about the possibility of an inherited disorder which may affect other family members. The brain autopsy also helps clinicians improve their clinical skills by identifying the precise cause of the clinical dementia.

Data set from an ongoing, longitudinal-sequential study of adult-cognitive development, which began in 1956, that focuses on individual differences in age-related changes and differences across cohorts. The general purpose of the study is to examine the changes in intelligence and various abilities throughout adulthood. The data provide a normative base to determine the ages of detectable decrements in ability and the magnitudes of the decrements. The study also seeks to examine patterns of generational differences and age-related differences and to determine the effects of educational intervention on intellectual decline. This study is a mixed cross-sectional, longitudinal, and time-lag design. Included are family studies of cognitive similarity, prospective studies of early signs of dementia via psychological and genetic markers, as well as the investigation of personality and demographic variables that affect cognitive change in adults from young adulthood to advanced old age. Questionnaire topics include health behavior, behavioral rigidity, family environment, Life Complexity Inventory, CES-D Depression, and cognitive and neuropsychology batteries.

The Aging, Dementia and Traumatic Brain Injury Study is a detailed neuropathologic, molecular and transcriptomic characterization of brains of control and TBI exposure cases from a unique aged population-based cohort from the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study. The study contains six data sets: histology and immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, rna-seq, protein quantification by luminex, isoprostane quantification, and specimen metadata.
