It is vital to acknowledge BRAIN UK and each NHS Trust that provided tissue in any publication arising from its use, with the suggested wording:

‘Tissue samples were obtained from [name(s) of NHS Trust(s)] as part of BRAIN UK, which is supported by Brain Tumour Research and has been established with the support of the British Neuropathological Society and the Medical Research Council.’

Please cite this BRAIN UK reference in your methods section:
