The NIH NeuroBioBank is pleased to announce that genome-wide genotyping and whole genome sequence (WGS) data from 9667 subjects from the NIH NeuroBioBank inventory are now available to the biomedical research community. Please find the publicly available web page for this study in the NIMH Data Archive here. To access, search and analyze this dataset, apply for access here. Once approved, you will be able to access the data in collection #3917. There are helpful tutorials about accessing data here. If the tutorials don't answer the questions you have, you should contact NDAHelp@mail.nih.gov.
Since 2013, the NIH NeuroBioBank has catalyzed scientific discovery through the centralization of resources aimed at the collection and distribution of human post-mortem brain tissue.
Our networked brain and tissue repositories distribute thousands of samples per year to the research community studying neurological, developmental, and psychiatric disorders.

Protracted neuronal recruitment in the temporal lobes of young children.
The temporal lobe of the human brain contains the entorhinal cortex (EC). This region of the brain is a highly interconnected integrative hub for sensory and spatial information; it also has a key role in episodic memory formation and is the main so…
View the abstractAlzheimer's disease is associated with disruption in thiamin transport physiology: A potential role for neuroinflammation.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) containing plaques and cognitive deficits. The pathophysiology of AD also involves neuroinflammation. Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is indispensable for normal ce…
View the abstractIL-37 is increased in brains of children with autism spectrum disorder and inhibits human microglia stimulated by neurotensin.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) does not have a distinct pathogenesis or effective treatment. Increasing evidence supports the presence of immune dysfunction and inflammation in the brains of children with ASD. In this report, we present data that ge…
