Postmortem Human Brain Studies in Research on Nervous System Disorders

Explore the critical role of postmortem human brain studies in advancing research on nervous system disorders through this illuminating seminar presented by Dr. Sabina Berretta from the NIH NeuroBioBank. Delve into the concept of "mortui vivos docent" (the dead teach the living) as it applies to neuroscience research. Gain insights into how these studies contribute to our understanding of various neurological and psychiatric conditions. Learn about the methodologies, challenges, and ethical considerations involved in postmortem brain research. Discover the latest advancements and future directions in this field, as well as its potential impact on developing new treatments and therapies for nervous system disorders. This presentation, part of the Center for Human Brain Variation (CHBV) Seminar Series at the Broad Institute, offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of neuroscience, pathology, and medical research.
