7 minutes of neural activity before death

Just before death, i.e. in the last moments, our brain reaches an intense state of activity. Some studies have looked at patterns of brain activity to predict the recall of dreams and memories in the final moments. This mysterious experience is called “7 minutes of neural activity before death”. It is believed that in these seven minutes, a person remembers the moments of his life like a reel of a film.

The brain works for 7 minutes even after death.

Many sources say that even after being declared dead, the human brain works for 7 minutes. Researchers studied brain activity for 7 minutes during death. Researchers found that when the brain cortex comes back online, how much oxygen reaches it? It was also observed that activity increases in the cerebral cortex and other areas of the human body.
