This was previously thought to be impossible:
Scientists were astonished to find that recirculating a cocktail of preserving agents through a severed pig’s head caused the animal’s brain to show signs of life.
As New Scientist reports, basic cellular functions were restored in the dismembered brain — something that was previously thought impossible following the cessation of blood flow.
While the pig brain wasn’t exactly oinking at the farm after the treatment, in scientifically significant ways it was seemingly brought back from the brink of death — a ghoulish experiment that could have implications for future efforts to reanimate a dead human brain as well.
