Harvard Brain Bank Seeks a Few Good Cerebella
I read with great interest today's article on brain donations to Harvard. My mother passed away on March 21, 2006, from Alzheimer's and Lewy Bodies Dementia, and we donated her brain to Harvard, so this article was extremely timely for me to help acknowledge that we did a good thing for research. The hospital we worked with had never done such a procedure and, hopefully, it will educate them and others of the benefit of brain donations. Although the article makes mention of it, we will also receive a report from Harvard confirming that Mom truly did suffer from both types of dementia, something that couldn't be confirmed until after her death. We are proud to have helped out future research for Alzheimer's, dementia, and other neurological diseases.
Thanks for your newsletter. I've been receiving it for several years during my mom's fight against the disease. Although her battle is over, the research and education battles continue. Keep up the good work!
