Brain Donation
The donation of post-mortem (autopsy) brain tissue for research is important to further our understanding of the causes of Tourette syndrome and to develop more effective diagnostic tools and treatments in the future. Brain donation by people with no neurological disease is of equal importance, since it provides essential ‘control’ tissue for comparison.
Working together with the Queen Square Brain Bank at University College London (UCL), we hope to advance post-mortem brain research into TS and to ultimately improve the lives of people with TS.
