Study brain surgery samples to map brain connections and signals
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a brain condition (new or coming back)
- Plan to have resection surgery (tumor/lesion removal), not just a small tissue sample
- Be able and willing to consent to join the study
- Have a surgical tissue sample with a clear, conclusive pathology diagnosis
- Not have radiation-related damage (like radiation necrosis) noted on pathology
