What they do

Problem

People cannot reliably preserve the structural information in the brain that may encode long-term memories beyond death or severe brain damage.

Solution

Nectome develops brain preservation and connectome-mapping technology intended to chemically and structurally preserve neural tissue so memories could be retained for future analysis or restoration.

Who it's for

Individuals seeking brain/memory preservation services and neuroscience researchers developing connectomics and brain-prosthetic tools.
