Åtlas, Germany’s Structural Brain Archive
A German service presents chemical brain preservation after death as an addition to conventional burial, currently offered through a study at University Hospital Erlangen.
Field notes
Åtlas describes a postmortem chemical fixation process intended to preserve brain structure without freezing. Its current pathway runs through the brain-archive study at University Hospital Erlangen and is laid out as registration, an explanation meeting, written consent, and conservation after death. The page attributes the study to Dr. Alexander German and says its protocol received ethics approval in 2024. A later direct offering by Åtlas is presented as a future plan rather than a current operating arrangement.
