What this contributes

Reports short-term recovery of hippocampal electrophysiological function after vitrification in mice.

The boundary of the evidence

Does not establish animal revival or recovery of autobiographical memories.

Why it belongs here

Engram research, brain decoding and connectomics investigate different parts of how brains encode and use information. Tissue preservation adds another line of inquiry. None of the sources indexed here demonstrates transfer of autobiographical memory into yeast or continuation of a person's consciousness.
