An international team of scientists has discovered unusual brain activity in an 87-year-old man who is about to die of a heart attack after a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a fall. In the 30 seconds before and after the heart stops beating, changes in some types of brain waves, including alpha and gamma brain waves; This indicates that brainwave interactions persist even after blood flow to the brain has stopped, but unfortunately, these results are based on only one person’s EEG recordings, as well as brain complications, which is prompting the researchers to investigate. Caution. Dr. Steve Taylor, a psychologist in Leeds Beckett University says, “I don’t think we can assume that this is a representative example of how the human brain on the verge of death behaves,” adding, however, that: “A review of life can actually occur when People are not physiologically close to death, there are many cases of reviewing life during a fall, for example.”
Brain scans of a dying man suggest that the “summary” of life may flow before our eyes upon death.
An international team of scientists has discovered unusual brain activity in an 87-year-old man on the verge of death from a heart attack that occurred after a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a fall.
Scientists have detected changes in some types of brain waves, including alpha and gamma brain waves, in EEG recordings in the 30 seconds before and after the heart stops beating. This suggests that brain wave reactions continue even after blood flow to the brain has stopped.
“Given that cross-coupling of alpha and gamma activity is involved in cognitive processes and memory retrieval in healthy people, it is interesting to hypothesize that this activity may support the final ‘call of life’, which can occur in the antenatal period,” so the team in the magazine Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.
However, unfortunately, these findings are based only on EEG recordings of a single person, as well as brain complications, and this prompts researchers to be cautious.
“I don’t think we can assume that this is a representative example of how the human brain behaves on the verge of death,” says Dr. Steve Taylor, a psychologist at Leeds Beckett University, adding however: “A life review can actually happen. When people are not near death Physiologically, there are many cases of reviewing life during a fall, for example.”
Sandro Ruggari Feeling like he stopped along the way, rather than a final landing spot, struck the pride of our ancestors. And he certainly did not go so far as to say that Florence is better than Rome. They didn’t go that far, at least explicitly. But, deep down, they suffered from this implied second […]
Physicist Graziano Vinanzoni works in Pisa: in April 2021 he obtained “the most solid evidence of the possible existence of new physics” An Italian physicist from Macerata, Graziano Venanzoni, is among the five most important scientists in the world according to the scientific journal Nature. Venanzoni, who works in the Pisa Department of the National […]
Calling your children by the name of brother or sister is not a sign of lack of interest or poor memory, but rather a sign of love. It often happens that a father and mother mix up their children’s names The “wrong name phenomenon” is not due to poor memory or lack of attention A […]
