Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a device that keeps a brain alive and functioning independently from the body. The device, called extracorporeal pulsatile circulatory control, successfully maintained brain activity for five hours in an experiment with a pig brain isolated from the body. This breakthrough could lead to new research opportunities for studying the brain and potential advancements in brain transplants.
