Isolated brain

Isolated brain means that a person's brain is not connected to their body. Scientists can keep a brain alive outside of the body by providing it with oxygen, nutrients, and blood flow. This makes it possible for the brain to remain active and to keep thinking, even though it isn't connected to the body anymore. Isolated brains have been used to study how brains work and how the body and brain interact. Scientists hope that this research could one day help us to better understand the brain and treat diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
