“…The DIBS is semi-structured instrument designed specifically for post-mortem psychiatric assessment using medical records and informants where available. This instrument is compliant with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) [16] and has demonstrated reliability [17]. …”

New developments in molecular neuropathology have evoked increased demands for postmortem human brain tissue. The New South Wales Tissue Resource Centre (TRC) at The University of Sydney has grown from a small tissue collection into one of the leading international brain banking facilities, which operates with best practice and quality control protocols. The focus of this tissue collection is on schizophrenia and allied disorders, alcohol use disorders and controls. This review highlights changes in TRC operational procedures dictated by modern neuroscience, and provides examples of applications of modern molecular techniques to study the neuropathogenesis of many different brain disorders.

“…In the present study post-mortem diagnoses generated through the DIBS were assigned using DSM-IV criteria only, in light of its wide diagnostic use in Australia. Other advantages of the DIBS include demonstrated reliability [23], and the enablement of diagnosis at a sub-syndrome and symptom-based level [24].…”

There was moderate-excellent inter-rater reliability for most cohorts in this sample. There was sufficient disagreement, however, particularly for the schizoaffective cohort, to suggest the value of applying a standardized and structured assessment approach to psychiatric diagnosis. A standardized approach would likely enhance both the accuracy of diagnosis and the prospective validity of tissue-based research. The present study also highlights the importance of accurate and detailed medical record keeping at a symptom-based level across all mental health professions. In the absence of clear and adequate symptom-based detail, the reliability of both ante-mortem and post-mortem diagnosis may be compromised.

“…NISAD was instrumental in supporting the establishment of the New South Wales Tissue Resource Centre (NSW TRC), a facility that collects, stores and distributes well-characterized fixed and frozen post-mortem human brain tissue, for projects related to schizophrenia (and alcohol-related disorders) [5]. Located at the University of Sydney, the NSW TRC currently holds more than 450 cases and has supported more than 65 schizophrenia-related studies throughout Australia, Japan, Belgium and Canada.…”

NISAD has succeeded in building a framework to apply the latest developments in neuroscience to the study of schizophrenia and has formed a multidisciplinary network of clinicians and neuroscientists who are actively collaborating on a range of research initiatives. The 'virtual institute' structure of NISAD has proven cost-efficient and consistent with innovative thinking about research resource management.
