Neuropathology Core

The Neuropathology Core was established as an integral part of the Massachusetts ADRC in 1985. The goals of the Core are:

-To establish accurate neuropathological diagnoses on all brains donated to the ADRC Tissue Resource Center;

-To submit a standardized report with clinical-pathological correlation and interpretation of findings to investigators in the Clinical Core;

-To prepare brain tissues in a standardized manner for use by qualified investigators in the field of AD research;

-To maintain the ADRC Tissue Resource Center as a source of brain tissue for investigators studying AD;

-To facilitate correlative studies of pathology with clinical, behavioral, anatomic, genetic and neuroimaging aspects of AD;

-To serve as a resource for training and educating future investigators in the neuroanatomy and neuropathology of disorders of dementia.
