We have experienced numerous new challenges during the process of brain harvesting in the period of COVID-19. Although brain harvests have continued successfully during this time period, the numerous uncertainties and challenges described in this paper have nearly derailed the process several times. While the interface of the medical profession with patients in the context of a pandemic has been well-documented on several fronts, and particularly for those health care workers on the front lines, we are not aware of any documentary accounts of the challenges facing research and tissue donation programs. With this paper, we contribute an additional perspective and describe the lessons we have learned in addressing these novel issues.

在 COVID-19 时期的大脑采集过程中，我们经历了许多新的挑战。尽管在此期间大脑收获继续成功，但本文中描述的众多不确定性和挑战几乎多次使该过程脱轨。尽管在大流行的背景下，医学界与患者之间的联系在多个方面都有很好的记录，特别是对于那些在前线的卫生保健工作者，但我们不知道有任何关于研究和研究面临的挑战的文献记录。组织捐赠计划。在这篇论文中，我们提供了一个额外的视角，并描述了我们在解决这些新问题时所吸取的教训。
