This innovative procedure, once the stuff of science fiction, was presented to the public for the first time.
The BrainBridge system aims to provide a second chance at life for those whose bodies have failed but whose brains remain functional. The procedure involves several highly complex and delicate steps.
First, both the donor and recipient are cooled to minimize brain damage. Surgeons then carefully detach the recipient’s head, preserving the brain and spinal cord. The donor body is similarly prepared by severing the spinal cord and major blood vessels.
The recipient’s head is then transplanted onto the donor body, with precise alignment of nerve connections being crucial for success.
A significant challenge in this process is reattaching the spinal cord. BrainBridge utilizes a specially designed biocompatible material that acts as a scaffold, encouraging nerve fiber growth and connection.
This
material, combined with advanced surgical techniques and rigorous
post-operative rehabilitation, aims to restore motor and sensory
functions to the transplanted head....<<<Read More>>>...
