Prehistoric Human Brain Found Pickled in Bog : Discovery News

A brain in near-perfect condition is found in a body-less skull of a person who was decapitated over 2,600 years ago in England.

One of the world's best preserved prehistoric human brains was recently found in a waterlogged U.K. pit.
The brain belonged to an Iron Age man who was hanged and then decapitated, with his head falling in the pit shortly thereafter.
Scientists believe that submersion in liquid, anoxic environments helps to preserve human brain tissue.
