Sparks Brain Preservation Announces Brain Preservation Summit in Salem, Oregon
Sparks Brain Preservation announced the Brain Preservation Summit to be held 19–20 September in Salem, Oregon. The event will bring together researchers working on connectome preservation, tissue fixation, cryobiology, electron microscopy, and long‑term storage.
The program features fifteen‑minute talks followed by five minutes for questions, tours of the Sparks brain‑sample repository, and a partial list of 18 confirmed speakers. Organizers aim to strengthen both the Sparks community and the broader group seriously working on this challenge, and to make the current state of science more transparent to interested parties.
Sparks links long‑term memory and personality to the fine physical structure of the brain; its approach uses aldehyde fixation to stabilize tissue, cryobiology for low‑temperature handling, and electron microscopy to visualize synapses—the points of neuronal contact—on small fragments. These topics are tied to connectome preservation and long‑term tissue storage.
