Every year infants, children and adults are diag nosed with one of the hundreds of devastating and little understood developmental
disorders. Developmental disorders are perplexing medical mysteries which can only be solved with continued and
dedicated research. For this reason, the National Institutes of Child Health and  Human Development has funded two Brain
and Tissue Banks. The goal of both Banks is to advance meaningful research on developmental
disorders. Many of these disorders have their origins at birth, and are manifested early in life, but others do
not occur until later in life. The Banks serve the critical purpose of co llecting, preserving and distributing human tissues to qualified scientific
investigators who are dedicated to the improved understanding, care and treatment of developmental disorders. |
