Donate your Brain to Research (some day):  One of the most amazing donations you can make is to support research though a donation of your brain after death. There are so many things we still don't understand about these diseases, and there is a critical need to examine the parts of the brain responsible, because every single person is different. Unfortunately, not enough people donate, and we can only learn so much from mice.  If you are interested in eventually making an ultimate gift, please discuss directly with Dr. Aldridge any questions you may have. To ensure a smooth process, registration should be done ahead of time by calling 319-467-7000 and asking to pre-enroll for brain donation to Marco Hefti (the pathologist). However, if a patient with Lewy Body or any other dementia has already passed, please immediately call the decedent Care Team at 319-467-7000 and mention Dr. Marco Hefti.
