Yale University researchers are currently investigating the possibility of preserving brain functionality outside of the body. This new approach involves using pig brains in vats, which are connected to a system that supplies them with a nutrient-rich fluid.

This allows for the study of brain activity after death. The Croatian scientists' previous work in restoring cellular activity in a pig's brain for four hours after death has served as the foundation for this research.

Bexorg Inc., a startup, has been established to further develop this technology. The goal is to gain a better understanding of brain biology, improve drug discovery, and potentially develop rejuvenation techniques for individuals with traumatic injuries. James Fickel, an early investor, has played a significant role in advancing this field, which has the potential to revolutionize neuroscience and longevity science.
