My shock discovery made me rethink everything I know about death. This is exactly what happens after your heart stops beating... and what you'll see, reveals neurosurgeon
Daily Mail••health
Key Points:
- Dr. Ajmal Zemmar and his team recorded the first-ever brain activity of a dying human, observing gamma waves 30 to 60 seconds after the patient's heart stopped, suggesting the brain remains active and may relive memorable life events at death.
- Gamma waves, associated with high-level brain functions like memory and awareness, challenge the traditional view that the brain immediately shuts down upon cardiac arrest, indicating coordinated brain activity during the dying process.
- This discovery provides neurophysiological evidence supporting near-death experience reports of life flashbacks, aligning with findings from two additional cases at the University of Michigan showing similar gamma-wave surges after life support withdrawal.
- Zemmar proposes that the brain might be biologically programmed to manage death's transition through
