Frozen human brain tissue works perfectly when thawed 18 months later
Very interesting result but it’s sad reading about having a 9 month old baby’s brain tissue being cut up into 2-3mm chunks. I didn’t know that brain tissue extraction was used to treat seizures. With the retraction of some papers in China due to ethics of samples being taken from unwilling minority groups I was hoping to see a bit more about where the samples came from in the paper.

it’s so bizarre that they can delete half a brain lobe and still function, and in some cases thrive. It’s the best argument I’ve seen for Pribram’s holographic brain theory, which I don’t endorse but find fascinating.
