You want to be able to "*freezes a mouse brain, keeps it under cryogenic temperature (below −180°C) for 24 hours, and then brings back the mouse to life*", well I'd like that too but I think that's far too ambitious to be practical, in fact I don't think that will happen until full scale Drexler style nanotechnology is developed, and at that point all forms of Cryonics will become obsolete because aging and all forms of disease would be easily curable. And rather than using valuable resources to find ways to reduce toxicity I think it would be wiser to find ways to increase what Michael Perry of Alcor calls inferability, that is the ability to figure out what part went where before the freezing was done. By the way, you don't need to go all the way down to -180 C, -130 C is plenty cold enough for long term storage, in fact it would be slightly better. If you go colder than -130 C the brain develops cracks, but that 's not a big deal because its easy to infer where things were before the crack happened. Its cheaper and more reliable to just use liquid nitrogen so that's why Alcor stores brains at -196 C.
