How Neuralink Keeps Dead Monkey Photos Secret

WIRED reports that UC Davis has withheld hundreds of photos of Neuralink's experiments on macaques at the California National Primate Research Center, citing public-interest and safety concerns, while the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine sues for their release. The article describes a monkey, euthanized on September 13, 2018, whose brain swelled and ruptured after a toxic adhesive around a Neuralink implant leaked internally, and says USDA treated the violation as a "teachable moment" with no penalty. Emails and records show Neuralink controlled what UC Davis could disclose, and the school says Neuralink's video content was stored on its own infrastructure. Neuralink did not respond to WIRED's request for comment.
