"Using a combination of ultrafast chemical fixation and cryogenic storage, it is the first demonstration that near perfect, long-term structural preservation of an intact mammalian brain is achievable," the Brain Preservation Foundation wrote in a news release.
The team, led by recent Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate Robert McIntyre, filled the vascular system of the rabbit brain with chemicals that prevent decay and allow it to be cooled to -211 degrees Fahrenheit. When thawed, the brain was found to have all of its synapses, cell membranes, and intracellular structures intact.
"Every neuron and synapse looks beautifully preserved across the entire brain," Kenneth Hayworth, the Brain Preservation Foundation president, said in the release. "Simply amazing given that I held in my hand this very same brain when it was vitrified glassy solid ... This is not your father's cryonics."

It was still as dead as a rock though.
General Franco is still dead today, but showing some improvement.
After it was unfrozen, did it say, “What’s up, doc?”

Very impressive. A big step to cryonic resusitation, or even long term storage of organs such as kidneys.
Even being able to store kidneys for a month, for replacement, would be an enormous step forward.

Strictly speaking, it’s cryonics, not cryogenics.
Which lucky politician gets the transplant?
No hope for kerry or the a##clown though

if it works on rats and cockroaches,
the DNC will buy it!
yes.
i guess the next step is removing it and putting in another body.
like that psycho italian doctor is gonna try to do next year.
