Name:	Resource:Northwestern CNADC Tissue Bank / Neuropathology Core
Description:	The functions of Northwestern University's Neuropathology Core of CNADC (Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimers Disease Center) are to collect, catalog, and store, postmortem brain tissue and other samples from demented subjects and non-demented control individuals; to distribute postmortem brain tissue and other samples to investigators for use in research; and to provide qualitative and quantitative diagnostic information to physicians, families, and researchers. The CNADC Tissue Bank has many types of specimens available for investigators. In most cases, available tissue includes: Brain Tissue paraformaldehyde-fixed wet tissue paraffin blocks of paraformaldehyde-fixed brain frozen unfixed brain samples unstained sections from selected regions Plasma from blood samples obtained from living subjects and controls DNA extracted from leukocytes of blood samples from living individuals Postmortem CSF is available in some cases. Pathologic diagnoses of postmortem cases available in brain bank: No pathologic diagnosis (non-demented control) Alzheimer disease Dementia with Lewy bodies Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) FTLD with ubiquitin inclusions (FTLD with motor neuron disease-type inclusions, TDP-43 proteinopathy) Pick disease Corticobasal degeneration Tauopathy, sporadic unclassifiable Tauopathy, familial (FTDP-17) Progressive supranuclear palsy Tangle-predominant senile dementia Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis / motor neuron disease Vascular dementia The Northwestern Alzheimer's Disease Center (NADC) maintains a registry of research participants for whom we have clinical data and tissue samples. The research participants include individuals over age 50 with no cognitive impairment, individuals with mild cognitive impairment and no dementia, and individuals with dementia (Alzheimer's disease and non-AD forms including frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. The clinical data consist of demographic information, including health and family history, and neuropsychological test scores. Subjects are tested annually and some have been followed for up to 8 years. The tissue samples include blood and extracted DNA, and some participants who have expired have donated their brains for scientific study.
