The Neurological Foundation of New Zealand
"The ten years, 1990 to 2000, were declared the United Nations Decade of the Brain.
It was, therefore an opportune time for the Human Brain Research Group, headed by
Professor Richard Faull, to be granted funds by the Neurological Foundation of New
Zealand to purchase a -80șC chest freezer, thus establishing the Neurological
Foundation Human Brain Bank. It is the only human brain bank in New Zealand, located
in the Division of Anatomy with Radiology at the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences
of the University of Auckland."
Dr Brain

"Auckland Medical School's brain bank holds 400 human brains.
Karen Holdom reveals they are in safe hands and are the key to a better future
for people with neurological diseases."
