Scientists have conducted a lot of research to find out what happens to a person in the last moments of life.
We report on the results of four such studies.
What happens to a person in the last moments of life
Scientists from the Grossman Medical Center in New York have found that after cardiac arrest, a person remains conscious for another 30 seconds and probably has time to assess what is happening.
The brain structures live for another 10 minutes, the temporal lobe being the last to switch off.
All this time, the person hears what is happening around him, but he can no longer comprehend what is happening.
Scientists from the University of British Columbia have found that you can talk to a dying person until the very end: although the brain will not analyze the information, warm intonations and words of comfort will reach the addressee to a certain extent.
According to a study conducted by scientists from the Karolinska Institutet, after cardiac arrest, the brain remains highly active for 3 minutes.
It is at this time that near-death experiences occur: a journey through a tunnel towards the light, a feeling of flying above the body, meetings with God or deceased relatives.
Scientists from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have found that in the dying state, serotonin and dopamine are released in large quantities, which causes a feeling of euphoria and hallucinations.
It is a kind of defensive reaction, the last gift from the nervous system.
Earlier we talked about how to protect your personal boundaries if you yourself are still weak in feeling them.
