Brain Support Network (BSN) is a nonprofit organization based in Menlo Park, California, focused on the well-being of individuals affected by neurological disorders. Its work centers on three missions: facilitating brain donation to support research, offering a Bay Area caregiver support group, and educating families to improve communication with care teams. The group emphasizes four atypical Parkinsonian disorders—Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Multiple System Atrophy, and Corticobasal Syndrome—while coordinating brain donations, which have supported research by delivering donated brains to the Mayo Clinic in Florida. BSN serves families across the United States interested in brain donation and seeks to assist families with caregiving and informed engagement with medical professionals. The organization operates within the research services sector and maintains a focus on bridging families, brain tissue research, and clinical coordination.
