In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain tissue function again after being frozen.

      Disney is dead. You’d have to freeze the brain with the chemical described in the paper protecting the tissue, otherwise tissues become mush when thawed.

    Very interesting result but it’s sad reading about having a 9 month old baby’s brain tissue being cut up into 2-3mm chunks. I didn’t know that brain tissue extraction was used to treat seizures. With the retraction of some papers in China due to ethics of samples being taken from unwilling minority groups I was hoping to see a bit more about where the samples came from in the paper.
