Investigation needs: Human brains surviving outside the body

The story

Science Magazine for August, 1965 reported the triumph of Drs. Laphom and Marksbery who, after repeated failures of various kinds, finally succeeded in keeping human fetus brains alive for many months, and as long as five months. This was done through a complicated process known as "explant." The brain is carefully taken from the living human being (while it is alive—otherwise the brain would die at the same time). Then the baby is permitted to die, and the brain is placed in a special fluid and "fed" and observed.
