The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhubaneswar, will soon set up a Satellite Brain Bank with the objective of conducting research in neurosciences.

A brain bank is a repository for human brain tissues. An amount of Rs 47.7 lakh has been sanctioned for the project for the first year.
"This will be the first such facility in the eastern region of the country and boost neuroscience research," TOI quoted AIIMS Director Dr Gitanjali Batmanabane as saying.
"Neurosciences is an important area and a lot of work can be done in this field. We can store the brains of deceased people and tissues of some patients after getting permission from the parents or guardians of the patient or deceased people. We can conduct research on the brain and its tissues," Dr Batmanabane added.
