What post-mortem brains provide
So, what answers can post-mortem brains provide?
Researchers look into the brain tissue in post-mortem brains to examine diseases directly within affected brain regions at a level of detail that cannot be achieved through brain imaging, blood tests, or other investigations in living individuals.
Today, rapid advances in technology have further transformed post-mortem brain research. Modern analytical platforms now enable the detection of genetic, protein, and metabolic changes in brain tissue with remarkable precision. From a small piece of brain tissue, thousands of genes can be analysed simultaneously to reveal which genes are switched on or off in specific disease states.
