A neuroscientist on the brink of a scientific breakthrough dies in a car crash. Yet her consciousness is still alive.

When an ex-marine put a bullet through his skull, he didn't expect to wind up in a neurological research facility, relearning how to feel and think with the help of an advanced brain implant. As his emotions return, the marine must confront once again the guilt that drove him to attempt suicide.

When it is discovered that the human brain is key to interstellar travel, one impoverished tradesman must decide whether to sacrifice the wonderfully wise, but ultimately artificial, eagle brain residing inside a beautiful humanoid shell or his own. A desperately poor tradesman realizes his humanoid friend, a charming artificial intelligence, is the key to faster and more lucrative interstellar travel. But to achieve this, he must pry her brain from her body and risk killing her.

A researcher and his assistant conduct neuropsychological experiments on dogs with the understanding that the dogs will be terminated immediately after, but the reality of their killing is much more difficult to cope with.

In a dystopian universe where roaming brains must purchase their bodies, a solitary female brain is forced to make a choice about her dream of the perfect human body when the unexpected happens.

A man reviews a book written by an esteemed scientist, which detailedly describes a series of events collectively known as the “neural chernobyl,” and speculates about the future of this ongoing biological disaster.

After being recruited for a so-called neurological study, man meditates on the imaginary city he sees in his dreams.

A professor of neurobiology describes to horrified police officers how he snapped under his famous physicist wife's controlling tendencies and murdered her.

After a man suffers from an accident that requires a futuristic surgery to help him grow his lost brain matter back, he goes on a trip with his two oldest friends through the Sierras. Ridge running across the mountains, he tries to recover the memories and knowledge he lost.

After his research proposal is unanimously rejected by the university board, a well-renowned college professor and his wife conduct an experimental study in the 1950s. The experiment, which gives a lab rat human consciousness through a robot body, becomes dangerous when a crucial factor goes unnoticed.
