Startup revives brains from the deceased to test treatments for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
In a development straight out of science fiction, a Connecticut-based startup called Bexorg is using technology to maintain functioning human brains outside the body for extended periods.
These disembodied organs, sourced from recently deceased donors, are being employed to test experimental drugs aimed at neurodegenerative diseases.
The work has ignited fresh debate: could these brains possess someformof consciousness?

Not alive, but not dead: disembodied human brains used for drug testing. By restoring some functions to intact brains from deceased donors, the startup Bexorg hopes to create a better drug development test bed for neurodegenerative diseases Sciencehttps://t.co/137NSt8g6K

The company’s BrainEx system pumps synthetic blood through the brain’s vascular network, delivering oxygen and nutrients while maintaining appropriate temperature and conditions.
This allows the brains to remain metabolically active for up to 24 hours or more, providing a realistic platform for observing how drugs interact with human neural tissue at a cellular and molecular level.
