Neuropathology Core Abstract The goal of the Neuropathology Core (NP) is to support research on aging and dementia in DS by systematically collecting, characterizing and disseminating tissues from brain autopsies from clinically characterized participants enrolled in ABC-DS. The NP Core component to the ABC-DS study will provide a final neuropathology diagnosis, perform post-mortem MR imaging, obtain high quality tissue for research purposes, provide an infrastructure for the dissemination of tissue, neuropathology and imaging data and interact with all cores in the ABC-DS. In addition to newly collected brains, in the first 2 years of the study, the NP Core will characterize a legacy cohort of autopsy cases (n=65) to fill in gaps in neuropathology data and acquire novel outcomes. The NP Core will provide critical data in support of Projects 1, 2 and 3. The postmortem imaging data will facilitate the translation of in vivo imaging to neuropathology in a systematic manner. Thus, the NP Core will 1) develop a brain autopsy network, 2) provide neuropathology diagnoses and contribute data to the Biostatistics and Data Management Core; 3) Serve as a repository for tissue and disseminate tissue samples; 4) acquire and share whole slide quantitative digital pathology in support of Projects 1, 2 and 3; 5) acquire post mortem neuroimaging to bridge the gap between in vivo and ex vivo autopsy studies.

神经病理学核心摘要 神经病理学核心 (NP) 的目标是通过系统地支持 DS 中的衰老和痴呆研究 从临床特征的脑尸检中收集、表征和传播组织 参加 ABC-DS 的参与者。 ABC-DS 研究的 NP 核心部分将提供最终结果 神经病理学诊断，进行尸检 MR 成像，获取用于研究目的的高质量组织， 为组织、神经病理学和成像数据的传播提供基础设施，并与所有人互动 ABC-DS 中的核心。除了新收集的大脑之外，在研究的前两年，NP Core 还将 描述遗留尸检病例队列 (n=65) 的特征，以填补神经病理学数据的空白并获取新的 结果。 NP Core 将提供支持项目 1、2 和 3 的关键数据。尸检成像数据 将促进体内成像以系统的方式转化为神经病理学。因此，NP 核心将 1) 开发脑部尸检网络，2) 提供神经病理学诊断并向生物统计学贡献数据 和数据管理核心； 3）充当组织储存库并传播组织样本； 4) 获取和 共享整个幻灯片定量数字病理学以支持项目 1、2 和 3； 5) 进行尸检 神经影像学弥合体内和离体尸检研究之间的差距。
