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.”
