https://www.musc.edu/website/research/brainbank/braindonor.html

A brain bank and biospecimen repository that provides research materials to clinicians, scientists and pathologists in South Carolina. The bank provides both control and diseased biospecimens and brain tissue needed for research in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other related neurological disorders. The Campbell Laboratory coordinates the brain tissue donation program, provides post-mortem confirmation of a patient having neurological disorders, and leads research trials. Any South Carolina resident can choose to sign up as a tissue donor and have their brain tissue donated post-mortem to be used for neurological disorder research. The tissue bank will process and analyze these tissue samples and send the results to the deceased person's family.

https://www.nitrc.org/projects/w2mhs/

An open source MATLAB toolbox designed for detecting and quantifying White Matter Hyperintensities(WMH) in Alzheimer?s and aging related neurological disorders.Our toolbox provides a self-sufficient set of tools for segmenting these WMHs reliably and further quantifying their burden for down-processing studies. WMHs arise as bright regions on T2-weighted FLAIR images. They reflect comorbid neural injury or cerebral vascular disease burden. Their precise detection is of interest in Alzheimer?s disease (AD) with regard to its prognosis.
