Neuropreservation is cryopreservation of the human brain with the intention of future resuscitation and regrowth of a healthy body around the brain. Usually the brain is left within the head for physical protection, so the whole head is cryopreserved. Neuropreservation is a type of cryonics procedure and, like cryonics in general, is considered highly speculative and reliant on future technologies. A cryonics patient who undergoes neuropreservation is said to be a neuropatient.
