	'''Cyberbrain [[sclerosis]]''' is a [[fictional]] [[disease]] introduced in ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''. The disease is characterized by hardening of the brain tissues precipitated by the cyberization process. As, officially, no cure exists, cyberbrain sclerosis is always fatal. Although the odds of symptoms manifesting are exceedingly low, anyone that has a cyberbrain (which in the fictional world of [[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex\|Ghost in the Shell]] are as ubiquitous as cellular phones are in reality) is potentially at risk.

	A major part of the plot in ''GitS:SAC'' is the suppression of the [[Murai Vaccine\|Murai vaccine]] in favor of [[Nanorobotics\|Micromachine]] treatment. Although the Murai vaccine worked, and worked well, the mechanism by which it worked could not be identified. Additionally, its creator, Chitose Murai, was not actively involved in cyberbrain sclerosis research at the time-he merely discovered the vaccine by accident while caring for cyberbrain scelerosis patients. Micromachines, however, held great promise as a highly versatile technology, although it was still in its infancy at the time. The development of micromachine technology in search of a cure for cyberbrain sclerosis eventually led to the development of many highly important (not to mention highly profitable) technologies- the Japanese Miracle (a micromachine that can remove radioactive fallout from an area affected by nuclear weapons) and Interceptors (symbiotic micromachines that turn their unwitting hosts into living surveillance devices), just to name two. However, despite all of its other capabilities, micromachine technology was entirely ineffective as a treatment for cyberbrain sclerosis.

	Later, it is revealed that Hisashi Imakurusu, the man who personally denied approval for the vaccine was himself in the final stages of the disease, and was being kept alive using the vaccine he himself worked to keep from the public-along with countless other well-known public servants. Imakurusu had dedicated his life to finding a cure for cyberbrain sclerosis, only to have Murai usurp him unexpectedly. Although Imakurusu had privately felt that he would have approved the vaccine if Murai had been able to discover why it worked, the [[Laughing Man (Ghost in the Shell)\|Laughing Man]] believed that the dual motivations of greed and jealousy led him to suppress the vaccine. The existence of a custom-crafted 'approval denied' stamp would lead one to agree with him.

-	Advantages- With a cyberbrain a computer is no longer nessesary as one could surf the web through their brains.
-	For some paranoid people or just the adverage citizen worrying about their brain over-loading, one might use an external sorce, usualy capable of carrying terabytes of data at a time,you can store almost any type of file, video, most likely even text files or a .pdf,

	In ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex\|Stand Alone Complex]]'', [[Lieutenant Colonel\|Lt. Col.]] Aramaki is a strict chief, and is referred to by others in Section 9 as the "old ape" (most likely because in the original [[Ghost in the Shell\|manga]] he was drawn with a face that appeared to be half [[monkey]], half [[man]]). Even so, he is fiercely loyal to the members of Section 9, and often puts his own career on the line to ensure the survival of the rest of his team.
