The increasing demand to brain banks for specimens that are properly prepared for research in neurochemistry has stimulated interest in the drawing up of suitable protocols. The purpose of this chapter is twofold: (1) to describe the various strategies that are currently applied in different brain banks and (2) to point out the main neurochemical requirements in order to reach a consensus with the brain bank about the more suitable protocol in each case. In recent years, some brain banks have acquired the necessary equipment and now have access to neurochemical expertise. Their experience will be very helpful in defining the new procedures to be used at each stage of brain tissue banking and will permit the development of research projects in this discipline.
对脑库中为神经化学研究而妥善准备的标本需求不断增加，这激发了人们对制定合适方案的兴趣。本章的目的有两个：（1）描述目前在不同脑库中应用的各种策略；（2）指出主要的神经化学要求，以便就每种情况下更合适的方案与脑库达成共识。近年来，一些脑库已购置了必要的设备，现在能够获得神经化学方面的专业知识。它们的经验将非常有助于确定在脑组织库每个阶段使用的新程序，并将推动该学科研究项目的开展。
