This one is a bit morbid, but as I understand it your brain has next to zero function and your body is surviving off of your brain stem and/or whatever machines you are hooked up to. I want to understand how it’s possible to be “alive” while your brain is dead.
In: Biology
Most bodily functions are automatic and controlled by sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Conscious brain is responsible for mainly high-level activities like eating. Im sure someone else will have a better explanation.
