Pig brains 'kept alive for 36 hours' without body
Yale University neuroscientist Nenad Sestan has claimed his team had experimented on 100-200 slaughtered pig brains and successfully kept them alive for as long as 36 hours. The brain circulation was revived using pumps and artificial blood warmed to body temperature. While there was no evidence the brains regained consciousness, Sestan said individual brain cells were found to be healthy.
