"Coles' brain was preserved with a slurry of 'cryoprotective' chemicals, and despite expectations of damage, the tissue structure survived with relative vigor."
"Fahy noted that Coles' goal was scientific; he wanted to learn whether cracking would occur in the brain when subjected to extreme cold."
"Fahy stated, 'it seems that you can preserve everything,' indicating the potential of cryopreservation techniques for future applications."
"The biopsy revealed that, while not entirely unscathed, the brain chunks fared well, giving hope for the possibility of reanimation."
L. Stephen Coles' brain was cryopreserved after his death in 2014, stored at -146 degrees Celsius for over a decade. Biopsy conducted by Greg Fahy revealed the brain was astonishingly well preserved. Coles opted for brain-only cryopreservation to study potential damage from extreme temperatures. Despite some tissue damage, the brain's structure remained relatively intact, suggesting future possibilities for reanimation. Fahy expressed optimism about the preservation process, indicating that it may be possible to preserve all aspects of the brain.
