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.

A recent study highlighted a small set of genes in a part of the brain called the amygdala, which might be involved in the social challenges seen in ASD.

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.
