This course addresses the role of the clinical autopsy in the 21st century. Therefore, we will explain the most basic fundamentals; material and methodology; risks of doing an autopsy and high-risk autopsies; and some of the main lethal injuries that can cause death. In addition, we will explain the hidden face of clinical autopsies, that is to say, some neuropathological procedures such as the brain and spinal cord extractions. Finally, we will overview some characteristics of brain biobanks as the backbone of research in human brain tissues.
