Summary

This study aims to collect blood and spinal fluid samples from 350 people with conditions like Parkinson's disease, ALS, glioblastoma, certain cancers, and rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers will analyze these samples to find new genetic markers that could help diagnose autoimmune encephalitis and paraneoplastic neurological syndromes more accurately. Participants must provide consent and cannot have the specific brain diseases being studied.
