Don't lose your head over this: sciam.com It was not until 1970, however, that a mammalian head was successfully transplanted onto a mammalian body that had already had its own head removed. This was first accomplished by my colleagues and me in a nonhuman primate--a rhesus monkey. When the monkey awakened from anesthesia, it regained full consciousness and complete cranial nerve function, as measured by its wakefulness, aggressiveness, and ability to eat and to follow people moving around the room with its eyes. Such monkeys lived for as long as eight days.
