Review on 26096690

This is review page for https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26096690/

En.wiki seems to misinterprete this article concluding that "with his protocol the grafted heads survived up to six months.[1]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_transplant#History Their [1] refers to review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27738901/ which says "Over half of his mice survived for periods longer than 24 h, with the longest survival being 6 months [22]" where [22] refers to https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26096690/ (btw, "over half of mice survived longer than 24 h" is also false).

However the only very brief mention of "6 months" in https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26096690/ is the following phrase in Discussion: "This work was undertaken to provide a model in which immune rejection and brain function can be assessed over time, by prolonging the survival period of the donor and recipient for up to 6 months." This is likely about aim, not about achievements.

There is no statistics of mice survival in the paper. There are no videos of functioning of that supposedly long-lived mice. The article has been cited only 29 times during 7 years.

It's even less believable considering the phrase from the paper: "Forty Kunming mice and forty C57 wild-type mice underwent the head transplant procedure. After allograft, 12 pairs of mice survived over 24 h <...> Within 1.5–2 h after transplantation, the both mice regained consciousness, displaying activity function and responsiveness".

If there really was a mice which lived for whole 6 months after transplantation there would have been numerous details on that, much more citations and interviews.
