Just before it ceases functioning, the brain may make a last-ditch effort to find unresolved purpose or a reason to stay ...

Researchers studying the brain’s final moments have gained new insight into the “wave of death” that occurs before a brain’s activity fully flatlines.

Neuroscientists have uncovered the source of a "wave of death" in the brain that appears at the end of consciousness. The latest findings, published in the journal Neurobiology of Disease, shed ...

Researchers at Paris Brain Institute, coordinated by Séverine Mahon, have shown that a “wave of death” appearing on the flat electroencephalogram is initiated deep in the cortex.

"Wave Of Death" Observed Spreading Across Dying Brains, And It Could Be Reversed A new study has tracked changes in brains dying of oxygen deprivation.

The first-ever recording of a dying human brain has revealed what happens in the final moments of our lives. The recording was captured by accident, but it has solved one of life's great mysteries.

A new study recorded brain waves while dying people were resuscitated to see what happens during the out-of-body experiences they later describe.

A flair of energy in the brain in a dying patient who had “no blood pressure” or “heart rate” could be evidence of the “soul leaving the body” after death, according to an expert.

The dying brain generated waves of gamma band activity, a fast oscillating electrical wave associated with conscious processing and thoughts.

In a new study, a group of researchers led by Dr. Joshua Goldberg from the Hebrew University describe a new kind of neurochemical wave in the brain. Their research, published in Nature ...

"I know now that I was sent back to tell others about my experience." Near-death experiences What happened to Osteen that winter day is what experts call a "near-death experience." It can occur ...
