Abstract

We have been running the Mental Disease Postmortem Brain Bank for Psychiatric Research since its inception in 1997. In this paper, we introduce the systems employed at Fukushima Brain Bank and our results and report several issues that we have faced while managing the Brain Bank, including financial issues, insufficient staff, the need for more cooperation among clinicians and basic researchers, and the desire to establish a nationwide Brain Bank Network.
