Autism BrainNet is composed of a network of scientific institutions, called nodes, that follow the high standards set by Autism BrainNet to collect, process, store and distribute the precious gift of donated brain tissue to qualified researchers worldwide.

Microglia work to keep our brains healthy by removing dying neurons and cell debris. Findings from this study suggest that microglia may play a bigger role in autism than previously appreciated.

Autism BrainNet deeply appreciates the Gift of Hope bestowed by families to advance research. We cherish our donors’ memory and dedicate this page to them.
