Does the Brain and Tissue Bank accept whole body donations?

The Brain and Tissue Bank is not equipped to accept “whole body” donations and, usually, most facilities that do accept whole body donations will not allow for the removal of brain tissue for research purposes. They want the body to be intact. So that means that individuals must decide whether they would like to donate their brain and help to advance dystonia research, or donate their entire body to science.
