Most people don't think they'll be around to see the research benefits of donating brain tissue to science.

Mike Morgan will. He donated his living brain tissue after undergoing surgery for seizures.

It’s now being studied by scientists at the Allen Institute to help make discoveries about brain functions.

Allen Institute Senior scientist Brian Kalmbach is here to help explain the importance of the new sample and its impact on current research.
