Scientists have learned to keep human brains functioning after death — and now use them to test drugs for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. US startup Bexorg has already studied over 700 brains, connecting them to a system with artificial circulation, oxygen, and sensors.

Formally, the person is already dead, but the brain itself can still respond to drugs and 'show' how they work inside 🧪

However, the technology is already helping pharmaceutical companies develop drugs faster and more accurately understand which drugs actually work in humans, not just in mice.
