It is vital to acknowledge BRAIN UK and each NHS Trust that provided tissue in any publication arising from its use, with the suggested wording:
‘Tissue samples were obtained from [name(s) of NHS Trust(s)] as part of BRAIN UK, which has been supported by Brain Tumour Research, the British Neuropathological Society and the Medical Research Council.'
Please cite this BRAIN UK reference in your methods section:
'Nicoll JAR, Bloom T, Clarke A, Boche D, Hilton D. BRAIN UK: Accessing NHS tissue archives for neuroscience research. Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol. 2022 Feb;48(2):e12766. doi: 10.1111/nan.12766. Epub 2021 Sep 28. PMID: 34528715'
