This study reports the results of the first brain tissue banking experience of Turkey in the Unit for Aging Brain and Dementia at Dokuz Eylul University, Department of Geriatric Medicine, Izmir. Here, we have briefly described our efforts on brain banking in our country, which consist of six brains from autopsies that had at least two years of clinical follow-up in the 2015–2017 period. The evaluation led to the diagnosis of two Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, one AD with dementia with Lewy bodies, one corticobasal degeneration, one multiple system atrophy, one vascular dementia. We believe that the study is of a special importance because of its potential of becoming a brain banking center in the region and because of its contributing to the international knowledge of the neuropathological features of dementia, while characterizing the epidemiology of these diseases in the region.

大脑储备对于痴呆症练习的重要性：土耳其的第一次经验。

这项研究报告了土耳其伊兹密尔老年医学系Dokuz Eylul大学老年脑和痴呆症研究组在土耳其首次进行脑组织库实验的结果。在这里，我们简要介绍了我们在我国脑库中的工作，其中包括来自尸检的六个脑，这些脑在2015-2017年期间进行了至少两年的临床随访。该评估结果诊断出两种患有脑淀粉样血管病的阿尔茨海默病（AD），一种患有路易体痴呆的AD，一种皮质基底变性，一种多系统性萎缩，一种血管性痴呆。我们认为这项研究具有特别重要的意义，因为它有可能成为该地区的大脑库中心，并且有助于国际了解痴呆症的神经病理学特征，
