Where would you donate your brain 🧠 for research? Does it die when you do? If not how long does the brain live after death?

Hello!! So in my apocryphal example, there'd have to be some kind of agency for receiving donated brains, like with donated organs. You can kiiiind of do this today, by writing in your will that you'd like to donate your brain for science or something like that. It's probably not an organised system. The brain cells would most certainly die.
