VOICED : Belgium gets worlds biggest pickled brain collection

The video discusses a unique collection of nearly 3000 human brains, the largest in the world, used for research into mental illnesses like depression and schizophrenia. The collection, started in 1951 by a British doctor, faced challenges due to storage issues in London and was later moved to Belgium. It offers a rare opportunity to study brains unaffected by modern psychiatric drugs, providing valuable insights into psychiatric disorders. The research aims to explore the role of brain inflammation in these disorders, highlighting the collection's importance for future studies.
