Hundreds of canning jars full of yellow liquid and chunks of human
brains have been sitting on a shelf in the Indiana Medical History
Museum. The specimens were collected during autopsies between
1896 to 1938 when the museum use to be the Central Indiana
Hospital for the Insane. Medical pathologist George Sandusky
started studying the brains during the summer of 2010 looking
for genes that contribute to mental disorders. These brain
samples are not tainted by modern psychiatric drugs. The samples
are preserved in celloidin and it took the team a year to figure out
how to extract DNA from the tissues. Sandusky is working on
screening the DNA for genetic glitches associated with
schizophrenia. If the technique works, old collections around the
country could be studied.

working with old brains seems a little creepy, all alone in a lab filled with jars of seventy year old brains is just creepy and would freak me out
