Frozen mouse brains revived from 'cryosleep' in a scientific first
Put "Alien" on standby -- because science may be inching a tiny step closer to real-life cryosleep.
In a breakthrough that sounds ripped straight from a Ridley Scott flick, researchers in Germany have managed to freeze brain tissue to ultra-cold temperatures and bring it back with key signs of life still flickering -- including electrical activity linked to learning and memory.
