Abstract


Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause leading to loss of brain function in the elderly. Research in AD and related disorders is not only a means to reveal brain function, but also enhances quality of life in the elderly. In the breakthrough knowledge about AD, studies on human brain tissues affected by AD are essential. The human brain bank collects human brain tissues and plays an important role in the disease diagnosis and reveals the pathogenesis of the disease, thus leading to appropriate treatment and prevention strategies. This article elaborates the contributions of human brain banking in the research of AD and related diseases through summarizing scientific research results using human brain tissues published in the international top journals in 2018-2020.
