For the first time in history, scientists have recorded brain activity in a person whose heart has already stopped beating. This happened while recording brain waves with an EEG in a patient with epilepsy.
Suddenly, right during the procedure, the 87-year-old patient had a heart attack and died. However, the EEG recorded brain activity for another 15 minutes.
According to the Daily Mail, after the patient's death, the areas of his brain associated with memory and its retrieval continued to work.
Scientists believe that just a moment before death, the brain began to reproduce the last memories associated with important moments of life.
And after passing away, these processes gradually came to naught. However, 100% to say what was caused by the surge in activity, science can not yet.
Earlier, scientists told whether there is life after death.
