Anencephalics can be divided into a large group without a functional hypothalamohypophysial system and a smaller group with a functional hypothalamohypophysial system. Anencephalics of the first group do not live more than a few hours, whereas the anencephalics of the second group can live up to 3 days. Those with a functional hypothalamohypophysial system have shown pain reaction. In anencephalics without a functional hypothalamohypophysial system, the endocrine pancreas does not reach full maturation and the use of these glands for islet transplantation can be questioned.
无脑儿可分为一大组没有功能性下丘脑 - 垂体系统的和一小组有功能性下丘脑 - 垂体系统的。第一组无脑儿存活不超过几个小时,而第二组无脑儿可存活长达3天。那些有功能性下丘脑 - 垂体系统的已表现出疼痛反应。在没有功能性下丘脑 - 垂体系统的无脑儿中,内分泌胰腺未完全成熟,将这些腺体用于胰岛移植可能会受到质疑。
