Dear Histneur-L subscribers,

I am interested in finding our about the history of brain banking: i.e. the 
collection and storage of human brains for research or other purposes. If 
anyone out there could point me in the direction of literature and/or 
archives that might shed some light on this subject, I would be most 
grateful.  I am a member of the History and Philosophy of Science 
Department at Cambridge University and was most delighted to find the 
History of the Neurosciences Journal.

Best wishes
