The Queen Square Brain Bank (QSBB), based in the Department of Clinical and Movement Neurosciences in the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, houses one of the largest collections of brains with neurodegenerative diseases in the world. This unique tissue resource was established through generous donation by patients and with the support of their families.

The Division of Neuropathology provides diagnostic services to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), part of University College London Hospitals NHS foundation trust, and a research infrastructure to the Institute of Neurology. The Division is one of the largest academic Neuropathology departments in the UK and has a substantial, high quality academic output.
