We do both! The aldehydes chemically fix the brain (this is the big thing that sets our approach apart) and protect it from being damaged by the cryoprotectant. At that point it’s stable at room temperature on the scale of weeks to months. Cooling it down to the long-term storage temperature extends that time to centuries.
