Brain Science is a rapidly changing field. There are new discoveries being made every day. A big part of these brain discoveries is human brain donations. Human brains help us learn a lot about the brain. However, scientists cannot use a human brain until the donor is dead. Also, while scientists can learn a lot with a postmortem brain live brain tissue could bring froth many new and exciting discoveries. Researchers at the Allen Institute of Brain Science presented their idea to extract brain tissue from real live people at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Patients who are undergoing neurosurgery to fix a brain tumor or epilepsy can donate some tissue of their brain. Once extracted the sample must be sent to a lab quickly to ensure that it does not die. The Allen Institute for Brain Science receives about 50 samples each year
