Can a brain be transferred to another person?
As a brain donor, your brain will be used for research purposes only — it will not be given to another person. Our scientists use brain tissue donated after death to better understand the causes of and treatment options for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Can you transplant entire head?
According to many, head transplantation is considered to be an extraordinary and impossible surgical procedure. However, nowadays, relevant literature and recent advances suggest that the first human head transplantation might be feasible.
Can a brain survive without a body?
It's possible to keep an isolated brain alive, but only briefly. And for ethical and practical reasons, many experts steer clear of this scenario. Scientists first kept a mammalian brain alive outside its body for about eight hours in the early 1990s.
