It is necessary to express our commitment in writing or that of a direct relative when we already we can not do it This commitment is materialized through a simple Donation Document available in our facilities.

At the time of death, it is important that people in the donor's environment communicate it immediately to the Tissue Bank Neurological Institute of Neurosciences of Castilla y León (BTN-INCYL) (24 hours telephone: 669 60 57 23). Serfunle S.A. Servicios Funerarios de León will collaborate in the transfer when the death occurs outside the University Assistance Complex of León (CAULE).

The donated brain tissue will be kept under the custody of the BTN-INCYL and the tissue biobank of CAULE. It can be used in research projects throughout the country and also in foreign research centers that request it. In Spain, brain banks, like other biobanks of biological samples for research, are part of the Plataforma Nacional de Biobancos, a coordination structure of the Carlos III Health Institute.
