Brain Donation

A brain autopsy is not usually used for research; it is a post-death analysis of the brain to establish a definitive diagnosis. While that step can provide helpful guidance to you and your family, it will not otherwise benefit FTD research.

By volunteering for brain donation, you can get a definitive diagnosis, while also making a profound contribution to FTD research. Brain tissue from both persons with and without an FTD diagnosis can help scientists develop treatments and diagnostic tools targeting the microscopic pathology that causes FTD.

My husband passed FTD and at the time I didn’t even think to donate his brain. I am so sorry. I wish I had but I love this website and will continue watching it.
