Scope and Contents

Contents

A new study has demonstrated recovery of brain circulation and some cellular function in a decapitated pig model. Although these results are exciting and thought-provoking, they do not challenge the concept or practical implications of brain death, as no evidence of global electrical activity or functional recovery of the brain was presented.
