Scientists have recently been able to awaken a part of a brain cell (neuron) four hours after an animal dies. Do you think that science can save the dead at some point? Why?
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Because the researchers in this study did not want to raise the dead .
Moreover the definition of the dead is but changeable. The condition that we call death today may be considered a disease in the future and it may be possible to save millions of lives by treating it.
But let me tell you one thing, waking up the "brain cells" and waking up the "brain" are not the same thing.
To awaken the "brain cells" they need to be supplied with oxygen and other nutrients so that they can produce energy and keep themselves alive.
But in order to awaken the "brain" , brain cells need to re-create a network between them by supplying energy to the junctions of the neurons, the synapses, so that an "electric signal" is generated there.
That is, we call the brain awake when all the neurons in a region of the brain form a network of interactions and a constant electrical signal is generated from there. Researchers verify the state of consciousness in the brain by verifying these signals.
That is, the difference between the awakening of neurons and the awakening of the brain is - "an integrated network" . What is necessary in the awakening of the brain but only in the awakening of neurons which is absolutely unnecessary.
In a recent study published April 17, Yale University researchers only wanted to awaken neurons. This is because they mix a substance like blood into the fluid that flows through the dead brain to supply oxygen and nutrients, which will prevent the neurons from producing "electric signals" . Not only that, even if they somehow managed to make the signal , the researchers are ready to take the anesthetic during the test so that it can be immediately numb . Because if the brain regains its consciousness, it will be in the middle of the dead and the living, which could raise questions about the ethics of the experiment and violate the "Death Guide Protocol ."
While on probation, they saw no such signal to be made have not . However, they have been able to reactivate some neurons, which have been able to restore some of the more complex functions such as energy production, waste disposal, and maintenance of the brain's internal structure.
But is it possible in the future?
The question is, could the neurons have been able to generate that signal if the inhibitory substance had not been used in this experiment?
Researchers say, maybe or could . But even if they could not spontaneously, if they were given an "electric shock", they would surely be up and down to make that signal. As a result, even if it seemed to be "dead", the sparkling soul would come out.
But when?
To get the answer, we have to look at that front, in those days to come.
