However, independent experts doubt the value of the experiment.
Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero has reported the successful transplant of the head.
He posted a video with a mouse and a dog who survived a trial transplant of the head.
It is noted that Canavero did not completely cut off the head, but only cut the spine, the complexity of the restoration which is an obstacle for the full transplant.
According to the surgeon, in his work he used the polyethylene glycol, which had been imposed in the affected areas of the spinal cord and contributed to the restoration of connections between thousands of neurons.
The publication cites the opinion of the independent experts who doubt the value of the experiment as it was a small sample, no control group, and information showing that the spine was quite damaged.
