No large organism can be restored from *complete* freezing with any
currently existing technology, that's true. (at liquid nitrogen
tempratures, one can wait until technology changes) But the reasons have
nothing to do with any 'implosion' of brain tissue. It's much more
subtle than that.

Assuming you're serious, start here:
http://123107127.home.icq.com/link2.htm#Cryonics
...and putting 'cryonics' in your favorite search engine will work
wonders,too.

Hopefully, nowhere! Because if you are truly dead then nothing can be
done to restore life to your corpse (which is just so much meat).
The whole point of cryonics is intervention in the dying *process*,
before it is complete. Its purpose is thus to *prevent* death. In this
manner it is no different than any other extreme medical procedure.
Cryonics should never be viewed as an alternative form of disposition of
a dead body. Until cryonicists terminate this way of internal thinking,
and external publicity, the movement will not begin to be associated by
the general public with the ideas of greatly extended lifetimes - ideas
which are currently starting to be well accepted by the media.

I believe the word you want is 'implode.'
And where, exactly, were you told that this happens to the brain?
A *slight* shrinkage is a normal, expected, carefully monitored part
of the suspension procedure, but that's as far as it gets...
