Remember the movie Re-Animator? Well, it’s back 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Animator
Yale researchers restored circulation and cellular function in pig brains four hours postmortem using a perfusion system (BrainEx), preserving synaptic activity and gene expression. This work redefines the limits of ischemic damage and raises critical neuroethical concerns about the definition of brain death.

Two recent #podcast episodes to share on clinical topics in #neuroethics from our group:
First, Colin Hoy being interviewed for the #Neurology podcast about ethical considerations around the diagnosis of prodromal #Parkinsons disease: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/32449797
(This is a companion to an article Colin and I wrote for Neurology: https://doi.org/10.1212/WNL.0000000000209522)
Second, a fun conversation for the GeriPal (geriatrics and palliative care) podcast with Sean Aas on philosophical and conceptual problems with #BrainDeath : https://geripal.org/what-is-death-winston-chiong-and-sean-aas/
i feel my resume is being sucked into the vacuum of space
mathematically, i don't think any more revisions are possible

Learning about the 2023 #BrainDeath / #DeathByNeurologicalCriteria consensus practice guidelines.
Neurology Clinical Practice · The 2023 AAN/AAP/CNS/SCCM Pediatric and Adult Brain Death/Death by Neurologic Criteria Consensus Practice GuidelineIn collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics, Child Neurology Society, and Society for Critical Care Medicine, the American Academy of Neurology formulated an updated, evidence-informed consensus-based guideline for pediatric and adult brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC) determination. In comparison with the prior guidelines, the revisions and additions in this guideline, which are summarized in this review, are intended to (1) ensure recommendations are conservative, yet practical, and emphasize circumstances in which BD/DNC determination should be delayed or deferred, so as to minimize the risk of a false-positive BD/DNC determination; and (2) provide guidance about aspects of BD/DNC determination that clinicians find challenging and/or controversial. We hope that clinicians throughout the United States will use this information to revise their hospital BD/DNC determination policies to conform to the standardized process for BD/DNC determination described in the new guideline, to ensure that every BD/DNC evaluation is consistent and accurate.
