Canada Global (Web News) Scientists have invented a device that can keep the mind alive and active without the body.
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center in the US succeeded in maintaining blood circulation by keeping the brains of ketamine-anesthetized pigs isolated from the body. The scientists maintained blood pressure, volume, temperature and nutrient demand in the brain with the help of computerized algorithms.
According to the team of neurologists, despite no biological intervention from the rest of the body, there was a very slight change in brain activity. According to the scientists, the success of this experiment could open new avenues for studying the human brain without involving other body functions. are
While the technology could pave the way for the possibility of brain transplants in the future, Joan Pascal, a professor of neurology at the institute, said the new method enables research that focuses on the brain independent of the body and all of these biological questions. It provides responses like never before. Isolating the brain in this way allows researchers to study the effects of substances used without the body’s natural defense system.
