This is a place of excellence where I had the privilege to meet extraordinary people with exquisite minds and character. Always striving to become the best at what they do and relentlessly finding cures or writing articles helping further science for people's benefit!
Ever wondered what a brain bank does? 🧠💡 Brain banks collect, store, and distribute brain tissue for research into neurological disorders. We are vital hubs for advancing our understanding and treatment of brain-related conditions.

Neurocytoma is a rare type of brain tumor that typically arises in the ventricles, fluid-filled spaces within the brain. These tumors are usually slow-growing and can be either benign or, in some cases, have malignant potential.

The axial FLAIR shows a large central neurocytoma with typically cystic features. The SWI (shown here) shows dark susceptibility artifacts that likely represents calcifications commonly seen in these tumors.
