Arrange for a priceless gift that is uniquely yours to give when you pass on. The purpose of this study is to understand the changes the occur in our brains as we age, and donating your brain could help unlock the mysteries of complex disorders, keeping families healthier for generations to come. Currently, only an autopsy can definitively diagnose these diseases. An autopsy of the brain will be performed after the participant passes to determine with certainty whether or not the donor had Alzheimer’s disease and/or another form of dementia.
All participants enrolled at USC may qualify to donate their brain if they meet eligibility criteria including both participants with or without cognitive impairment.
