For many years, scientists tried to find out what is happening with the brain of people when they die, writes Dailymail.

Recently, a group of neurobiologists was able to record the activity of the brain of a dying person for the first time in history, who, as it turned out, was experiencing the so -called " Many people who have experienced near -death experience say that at a critical moment, all their lives are carried before their eyes. It was this moment that it was possible to confirm by scientific means.

The recording of the brain waves was made when the 87-year-old patient suffered a cardiac arrest during the treatment of epilepsy. A device for monitoring brain activity, attached to the patient’s head at that moment, was recorded by an unusual surge.

Unfortunately, the man’s heart failed to restart, but neurobiologists recorded 900 seconds of brain activity at the time of death. This made it possible to find out what happened 30 seconds before and after the patient's heart stopped beating.

The records of the brain waves showed that the areas of the brain responsible for the memories remained active.

" Such results challenge our understanding of when exactly life ends, ”says Dr. Adzhmal Zemmar from the University of Louisville, Kentukki.

As you know, a patient from Canada was treated with epilepsy, which is why at the time of death, electroencephalography (EEG) was performed to study brain waves associated with convulsions. Later, the patient had a cardiac arrest, which is why he died, but EEG still monitored the work of his brain. This provided the first scientific evidence of what is happening in the human brain a few moments before death.

“I saw changes in a certain strip of neural vibrations right before and after cardiac arrest, as called gamma scolents, as well as in delta, aunt, alpha and beta-coolants,” adds Zemmar.

Brain fluctuations are similar to the repeated patterns of electrical impulses, which is familiar to the human brain. Different types of brain waves reflect different functions of the brain and state of consciousness.

For example, gamma waves are involved in high-cognitive functions, such as memory extraction.

Researchers do not exclude that the brain can be biologically programmed to the transition from life to death, causing a number of physiological and neurological events. Scientists cannot yet understand how and why a "

According to one of the hypotheses, the lack of oxygen during an event that is life -threatening is the release of neurotransmitters that transmit signals between neurons. This activates neurons, and such increased activity can lead to the appearance of vivid memories.

Another theory is associated with the place where memories are stored in the brain. The fact is that the most striking memories are stored in the almond -shaped body - a part of the brain that is responsible for the reaction " Activation of this area during a critical situation can release vivid memories.

Recall that death is not the end, which confirmed the mathematical model. The authors of the study say that the derived mathematical formula will help to better understand the death itself.
