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中衰老和痴呆的研究。 从临床表征的脑尸检中收集、表征和传播组织 参加ABC-DS。ABC-DS研究的NP核心部分将提供最终的 神经病理学诊断，执行死后MR成像，获得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， ABC-DS中的核心。除了新收集的大脑，在研究的前两年，NP Core将 表征尸检病例的遗留队列（n=65），以填补神经病理学数据的空白，并获得新的 结果。NP核心将提供关键数据，以支持项目1、2和3。死后的影像资料 将有助于以系统的方式将体内成像转化为神经病理学。因此，NP Core将 1)发展脑解剖网络，2）提供神经病理学诊断，并为生物统计学提供数据 和数据管理核心; 3）作为组织和传播组织样本的储存库; 4）获取和 共享全切片定量数字病理学，以支持项目1、2和3; 5）获取尸检 神经影像学的桥梁之间的差距差距在体内和离体尸检研究。
