Aschwin de Wolf

Aschwin de Wolf, a leader in brain preservation research, and Andy McKenzie, a specialist in chemical preservation, dive into the fixation versus vitrification debate in cryonics. They unpack the significance of preserving the brain's connectome and ultrastructure while discussing viability versus structural preservation. The duo examines how different preservation methods can impact revival outcomes and explore ideal protocols versus real-world practices. They even tackle intriguing questions on the future of memory extraction and the viability of fixed brains.
