TRANSIENT MONKEY SUCCESS. "Only one brain transplant was conducted by neurosurgeon Robert J. White; he grafted the head of a monkey onto the headless body of another monkey. EEG readings showed the brain was later functioning normally. It was thought to prove that the brain was an immunologically privileged organ, as the host's immune system did not attack it at first, but immunorejection caused the monkey to die after nine days." https://lnkd.in/dPaEvxf View in LinkedIn

BRAIN TRANSPLANT. "For the first time ever, doctors have implanted artificial brain cells into a human, a 62-year-old stroke patient in Pittsburgh, opening the possibility of eventually treating people with brain disorders ranging from Parkinson's disease to Alzheimer's."(1998). https://lnkd.in/dySkrW2 View in LinkedIn

PLANNED HUMAN HEAD TRANSPLANT. "Earlier this year, an Italian surgeon announced that he’ll be attempting the world’s first human head transplant, that despite the hurdles, a human head may actually be attached onto another person’s body in two years. This week, a donor was introduced, but according to at least one expert, this man might be facing something that’s “worse than death.” (2015). https://lnkd.in/djtXndr View in LinkedIn

BRAIN BYPASS. "A study using a monkey as a subject shows that it is possible to directly use commands from the brain, bypass the spinal cord and enable hand function. An advantage is that this interface can be adjusted after the surgical interventions are done where nerves can not be reconnected without surgery." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_transplant View in LinkedIn

MOUSE TO MOUSE. "A piece of brain has been successfully transplanted from one mouse into another, where it not only survived but also correctly hooked itself up and functioned almost normally." https://lnkd.in/dRfs65h View in LinkedIn

PREDICTION. “First human head transplant could happen in two years.” (2015). https://lnkd.in/dpu9Ghm View in LinkedIn

REGIONAL GRAFTS. “I could imagine considering growing regions of brains to graft in. But are we within five to ten years of that? That's hard to imagine." https://lnkd.in/dTSEgTa View in LinkedIn

HEAD GRAFT. "First full body transplant is two years away, surgeon claims. Doctor plans to graft a living person’s head on to a donor body using procedures he believes will soon be ready." (2015). https://lnkd.in/dw4gwRt View in LinkedIn
