This was kind of a strange shower thought I had knowing that the brain has been shown to have a surge of activity while releasing things like serotonin amongst other things after the heart stops beating. I imagine research would be very limited but say someone passes away of a blunt force that leaves the brain incomplete or under severe trauma, would this same process still occur?
In: Biology
It would depend on exactly which part(s) of the brain is incomplete, I guess. The brain is a big complex organ connected to basically the entire body so it would require a very specific injury to completely circumvent all of the things it does in the dying process. But if you just like, crushed someone’s head very quickly, I imagine that would do it.
