In the 1920s, a Soviet scientist kept a dog's severed head alive and responsive to stimuli for several hours. See here for a recap and here for a decidedly creepy video. Now, officially these experiments led to the development of the heart-lung machine but no more advanced techniques for keeping severed heads alive. But who knows?
