Pig brains partially revived after death
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
US scientists have partially revived pig brains four hours after the animals were slaughtered.
The findings could fuel debate about the barrier between life and death, and provide a new way of researching diseases like Alzheimer’s.
The study showed the death of brain cells could be halted and that some connections in the brain were restored.

Scientists restore some functions in a pig’s BRAIN hours after it died
Posted by Carse Peel in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience, sustainability
Scientists bring some functions in a pig’s BRAIN ‘back to life’ — four hours after the farm animal died„.
Scientists have been able to partially revive the brains of decapitated pigs that died four hours earlier in a groundbreaking study.

Program: Happy to announce Prof. Julie K. Andersen at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato as a speaker for the 2019 Undoing Aging Conference
Posted by Michael Greve in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, neuroscience
“Julie has been associated with SENS since its earliest days: she participated in the first workshop that I organised to discuss it, in 2000, and she was a co-author on the first SENS paper in 2002. We’re delighted to be funding her laboratory at the Buck Institute to explore new ways of eliminating neurofibrillary tangles from neurons of Alzheimer’s sufferers, and at UA2019 we will hear about their initial progress.” says Aubrey de Grey.

Liquid Blood Extracted From 42,000-Year-Old Foal Found Frozen in Siberia
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
Scientists in the Yakutsk region of Siberia have managed to extract samples of liquid blood from a 42,000-year-old foal that was found embedded in permafrost back in 2018. The scientists are hoping to collect viable cells for the purpose of cloning the extinct species of horse.
The male foal was discovered in the Batagaika depression on August 11, 2018. Permafrost left the remains in remarkably good shape, raising hopes that its cells could be extracted. The specimen is thought to belong to an extinct species of horse known as Lenskaya breed (also known as the Lena horse), as the Siberian Times reported last year.

Today’s Biggest Threat: the Polarized Mind
Posted by Xavier Rosseel in category: neuroscience
As the bitter strife between left and right, citizen and noncitizen, white and non-white attest, the greatest threat to humanity today goes beyond political and religious divides, economics, and psychiatric diagnoses. It goes beyond cultural conflicts and even the degradation of the environment—and yet it includes all of these.
To counter it, we call for a mobilization of mindfulness practices and dialogue groups on the scale of a public works program for human civility.
