Re: Brain donation

[Guest guest]

Columbia-Presbyterian Neurological Center in New York City has a brain

donation program. Don't know if they'll take from someone who wasn't a patient

there, you can call

. Receptionist can take your information. If you get a tape,

hang on and listen to the prompts. One of them refers you to a brain donation

voice mailbox.

This is an excellent facility that does extensive research. My Dad is

followed by his neurologist here.

If you do call Columbia-Presbyterian, please post your results on-list. I

really hope I can convince MY meanie sisters to allow my mom's brain to be

autopsied after she dies; however, the one place I checked in Chicago

(Northwestern ADRC) only autopsies brains of people who were seen by

neurologists at that ADRC.

Thanks!

First off, I have my e-mail account back in order again. Thought I

had that problem handled two weeks ago.

I did make that call to Columbia-Presbyterian in NYC regarding their

brain donation program. The director of the program is Arlene

Lawton, phone # . I got her voice mail and left a

message. So now I'm just waiting for a return phone call. I will

post all info I can find on this and any other programs I come across

in trying to make this happen.
