Synopsis

Two individuals, rendered paralyzed by addiction, journey to Sweden in pursuit of a groundbreaking treatment for a neurological disorder, a therapy largely inaccessible in the United States due to restrictions on fetal tissue research. "Brain Transplant" is a continuation of the compelling narrative first explored by NOVA in the 1986 Emmy-winning film, "The Case of the Frozen Addict," concerning a perplexing illness linked to a contaminated batch of synthetic heroin.
