Brief description of study
What is the purpose of this study?
The purpose of this study is to collect tissue from regions of the developing brain that are thought to be the origin of new brain cells. We would like to understand how neurons and glia are formed from cells in this region of the human brain and how they may contribute to disease.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Potential participants will be identified by the treating physician/investigator and/or by use of eMAR/surgery schedule/clinic schedule. Initial contact will be the approach for consent and will take place in the clinic, hospital room, pre-operative area, or surgery waiting area. When in-person consent is not possible, they will be contacted by phone.
