Thrilled to be a guest on @AgingMattersPod discussing the importance of brain donation! Live today at Apple Podcast - podcasts.apple.com/.../aging-matt…, Spotify Podcast - open.spotify.com/show/0HvZeXmoV…,


Many thanks to @nytimes @NYTScience for honoring this remarkable man and highlighting the critical need for brain donation to advance science! #braindonor #braindonation #bethebrainbehindthebreakthrough

Many Americans plan to donate their organs for transplants or their bodies for medical science. Few realize that there’s a growing need for their brains, too. nyti.ms/3RTds9G



This man was special in so many ways. Now scientists will find out why. #braindonation #braindonor #bethebrainbehindthebreakthrough

Morrie Markoff, a supercentenarian blogger and scrap-metal sculptor who was believed to be the oldest man in the U.S. and whose brain has been donated for research on what is known as super-aging, died on June 3. He was 110. nyti.ms/3VnGiA4

Why You Might Want to Donate Your Brain to Science: Organ donor programs do not include brains, creating a tissue shortage that impedes research into Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s and concussions. nextavenue.org/why-you-might-…



Did you know - Brain donation (for research) is NOT part of organ donation (for transplant). For this annual National #BrainDonationAwarenessDay, learn more about the myths of brain donation - and how to become a registered brain donor yourself - at braindonorproject.org

In neuroscience research, there is no substitute for human brain tissue. Since you or someone you know is likely affected by a neurological condition, science needs resources to drive breakthroughs. On #BrainDonationAwarenessDay, learn more braindonorproject.org #bethebrain

Some of the new BRAIN technologies can now be applied to the study of human brain diseases. The barrier is often the availability of tissue to study, which makes Brain Donation critically important. braindonorproject.org
