"Pig's Brain Revived Outside Body: Implications for Human Brains"
Researchers in Texas have developed a device that can isolate a brain from the body, keeping it alive and functioning independently for hours, potentially leading to advancements in heart-lung bypass technology. The new extracorporeal pulsatile circulatory control (EPCC) device was successfully tested on pig brains, allowing researchers to study brain function without interference from the body's other functions. This breakthrough could pave the way for improved machines for human cardiopulmonary bypass and offers a novel method for studying the brain's activity and its circulatory manipulation.
