You might be interested in the Harvey Cushing Brain Tumor Registry 
which is housed at the Yale School of Medicine and includes whole 
brain specimens.  There is an on-line exhibition about the registry 
at 
http://www.neurosurgery.org/cybermuseum/tumorregistryhall/wahl.html 
organized by Christopher Wahl who graduated from YSM in 1996.  His 
M.D. thesis, "The Harvey Cushing Brain Tumor Registry: Changing 
Scientific and Philosophic Paradigms and the Study and Preservation 
of Archives," is available at the medical school archives (MEDICAL, 
Theses, Locked (Non-Circulating) T113 +Y12 6437).
