" I realize the human brain is the most complex of all mammalian brains, but
 wouldn't a dog brain be good enough for testing?  Couldn't we learn the
 pertinent factors of biostasis damage from it?  Or would we have to use a
 chimp to come close to an accurate test?  Has a chimp ever been used in
this
 way?"


John, I tend to agree, a dog brain is close enough to human to learn a great
deal from, though we might see problems in getting a direct comparison due
to differing brain masses; You could cool a dog's brain a lot faster. It
would certainly be worth doing, however.
