1974 W. Gaylin in Harper's Mag. Sept. 26/3 Whatever is possible with the old embalmed cadaver is extended to an incredible degree with the neomort... Uneasy medical students could practice routine physical examinations..everything except neurological examinations, since the neomort by definition has no functioning central nervous system.

1984 ‘Tiresias’ Notes from Overground 166 Do we now have a new category of existence—the neomort—whose thinking brain is dead, yet whose heart and lungs are working normally?
