This blog is about how researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich managed to keep a tadpole's brain alive using microalgae. In summary, scientists used transcardial injection in the heart to release oxygen producing microalgae to a tadpole brain. This resulted in full reoxygenation and neuron activity turning normal. Here is a video explaining more!
