[ExI] Plastination

[Brent Allsop]

I'm also very interested in this subject, so thanks, Quoting, for 
bringing it up.  I'd also love to hear from someone like Ken Hayworth.

Wouldn't a physical neural researcher be a good person to ask?  You 
know, the kind of researchers  that work with actual neurons - slicing 
up brains - looking at them at the microscopic and even nano scale 
level, and so on?

I'm completely ignorant on all this, but my completely uninformed gut 
feel is that a sliced up bit of hard frozen brain, even if very much 
fractured, would contain much more preserved information than anything 
plasticized?
