Ever
wondered what it feels like some seconds before someone dies? Worry no
more, scientists have given chilling details how one feels moments
before kicking the bucket.
Have you ever asked yourself – What is really happening to us in
the moment of death? In case you have, do not worry it is not weird
because there is no person that never actually thought of that. There
are many rumors and beliefs about this topic, but experts found out the
real answer to that question.
The American Society of Chemists is compering the feeling before
death with the feeling when you watch a very scary horror movie because
they found out that the brain react the same in both ways.
Fear has a purpose, and in case you didn’t know this – fear is
preparing you to react when you are in danger. The part of the brain
called the thalamus is very sensitive to stress and with further
chemical reaction in the brain we come to a state of ‘’flight’’ or
‘’fight’’ for what we would like to thank the hypothalamus.
Have you also wondered how do you get that strength that you never
ever thought you can achieve and you say my adrenaline is high? Well the
hypothalamus stimulates the adrenal gland to secrete adrenalin in order
to prepare your body for action. The adrenalin continues to the liver
and then the secretion of sugar in the blood will be stimulated, and
that is the process of gaining that strength. If that do not helps, just
like in the horror movies people start screaming. In real life is the
same, we start screaming when we are in dangerous situations and the
most interesting part about it, is that the screams are not perceive
with the same part of the brain and speech. And also another interesting
fact is that when we hear someone screaming, it actually goes from our
ears directly to the part of the brain called amygdala.
Now imagine that you are in the horror movie and someone is chasing
you with axe to kill you, and the screaming is not helping you. What
you will feel now? If the killer catches you and stabs you with the axe
you will feel pain but not the same pain as you are used to. This kind
of pain will send a message to the brain that something really bad
happened and that it should not be repeated.
The killer stabs you in the neck with the axe and the first thing
that will happen is that your heart will stop working and you will
eventually stop breathing too (clinical death). But in this moment you
brain actually works, and the strangest thing that scientists found out
is that not only that your brain works in that moment, it works like
never before and that is actually why some people say that they saw the
light or some other strange things (those people who had survived
clinical death). But if in this moment there is no emergency help the
brain will stop working too and that is when the biological death comes
along.
