Feb 22, 2022 · Now, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during death and suggests an explanation for vivid life recall in near-death experiences. Imagine reliving your entire life in the space of seconds.
Mar 3, 2016 · At around 3 to 6 hours after death, your body will experience the infamous process of rigor mortis. This occurs because when your cell organelles start deteriorating, they release calcium into muscle cells, and these bind to proteins that are responsible for muscle contraction.
Feb 22, 2022 · A new study reveals brain oscillations associated with memory retrieval alter in the moments before death, suggesting the brain may replay significant life events just before we die.
Dec 15, 2020 · Summary: Financial losses evoke neuroplasticity alterations to the auditory cortex, a new study reports. Source: HSE. Researchers at the HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have shown experimentally that economic activity can actively change the brain.

This big discovery was hailed in 2013 as the real big cause of "near-death experiences." It seems that, just after we die, a gigantic spike happens in brain activity. It's very, very brief, and it's only been observed in rats (because tests performed on dying humans are obviously hard to get past the ethics committee). But it's the sort of brain ac...
Once you have shuffled off this mortal coil, pushed up the daisies, gone to God, and been declared clinically, irrevocably dead, the brain's afterlife in medicine may actually just be beginning. It all depends on your particular situation in death, as well as your wishes as to what happens to your body afterwards. If you're donating organs, the fir...
If you happen to die in a way that clinicians or your family thinks warrants a postmortem, the process won't look as pretty as it does on television (and it already doesn't look very pretty on television). Postmortems are generally done to diagnose a whole-body cause of death, but the doctors doing the diagnosing do as much as possible to avoid dam...
If you've donated your brain to a scientific institution for study, scientists will be cutting it up — but what they're looking for depends very much on how you died. For instance, if you had dementia when you passed away, they'll examine the hippocampus, midbrain and various other parts of the brain that are specifically linked to that diagnosis. ...
Most bodies in funeral homes tend to be prepared the same way, even if they're going to be cremated rather than buried. The body is injected with the preservative formaldehydein a hidden place, either under the armpit or in the groin. The formaldehyde is then pumped into all areas of the body, including the brain. (Funeral home workers will increas...
If you're being cremated, your brain, like the rest of your body, will burn and become ash (usually the entire body is gone within 90 minutes). However, if you're going to be buried, it will decompose in the soil — but there are some interesting variants as to how fast this actually happens, depending on when and how you're buried. Buried bodies ha...

The clinical criteria for death include assessments of brain and heart function. According to the standards published by the American Academy of Neurology in 1995, brain death necessitates coma, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea (Wijdicks, 2001; Walter, 2020).
