<p>&lsquo;Cryosleep&rsquo; remains the preserve of science fiction, but researchers are getting closer to restoring brain function after deep freezing</p>
Cryopreservation is a process where cells, tissues, or any biological constructs are preserved by cooling to sub-zero temperatures. This technique is commonly used in biology and medicine to store cells, such as sperm and embryos, for future use without losing their viability.
The neurobiology of freezing explores how freezing affects brain function and structure. Research in this area aims to understand the potential for restoring neural activity after thawing, which has implications for both medical applications and our understanding of brain preservation.
