Have we lastly found the solution to the 'after death' 
experience? 
A brand new scientific analysis has recommended that dying rats experience an abnormal rush of 
intense brain activity throughout their last moments of life. This enlarged brain operation may be in 
line with (and thusly explain) Human accounts of close to or after death experiences, as reported by 
many individuals around the world. 
Nearly a fifth of all individuals who have survived a cardiac arrest have reported having an 'After 
Death Experience' or ADE. This is quite an alarming statistic, especially as the ADE tends to have a 
profound effect within the existence of the survivor. Having an ADE is seen by many as convincing 
proof of an spirit world or a continuance of the individual's soul after death. 
Likewise, a 'Near Death Experience' (or NDE) is considered to be parallel to the ADE, but noticeably 
occurs while the patient remains to be technically alive. Many individuals who encounter NDE's 
report a balanced sensation or 'From Body Experience' (OBE), as well as encounters with angels, 
dead family and loved ones. Both NDE and ADE survivors recurrently describe traversing an 
extended tunnel in direction of an intense light. 
Negotiations of life after death appear in early scriptures, archaeological sites and many subsequent 
works of viewpoint and have fascinated (and frightened) Persons, no matter of creed, ethnic group 
or culture, since time immemorial. 
After convalescing from surgery in 1979, Jazmyne Cidavia-DeRepentigny of Hull, Georgia, USA, 
reported a stereotypical NDE account which was ultimately published in the book 'Beyond The Light' 
by P.M.H Atwater in 1994. Like some people, Jazmyne recounts information of her surgery that may 
be very difficult to obtain were she lying. 
Jazmyne states that "I was perched over my body. I could see and listen to everything which was 
being said and done. I left the area for a minute and then came back to where my body lay. I knew 
why I died. It was because I could not breathe. I had a tube along my throat and the health staff 
didn't have an oxygen mask on my nostril. I had also been provided excessive sedative". 
She went to describe her efforts to get rid of the tube from her throat from a rather traumatic 
account.

Prior to that aforementioned study, it was accepted incontrovertible fact that brain activity ceases 
once the heart stops. This has now been demonstrated as being untrue, at the least as far as rats are 
concerned. It's also the strongest presumption to date concerning the reasons of ADEs, OBEs and 
NDEs. 
One of those scientists responsible for these results, Dr. George Mashour of the University of Ann 
Arbour, Michigan, USA said that the team was "surprised with the high levels of motion" in the 
rodents. "In truth, at near-death many identified electric signatures of consciousness exceeded levels 
found within the waking state, suggesting the brain is able of well-organized electric activity over 
the initial stage of clinical death." He said.
The team's lead scientist, Dr. Jimo Borjigin added that "This research paper tells us that drop of 
oxygen or both oxygen and glucose during cardiac arrest can stimulate neural activity that is 
characteristic of mindful processing," 
However, Dr. Martin Coath in the University of Plymouth, United kingdom was somewhat critical of 
the team's findings. 
Dr. Coath said that, because the rats were anaesthetized, the findings better demonstrated the 
unconscious brain's reaction to a life-threatening deficit of blood flow and oxygen. He also said that 
the study hadn't essentially proved that any 'sensitive cognizant processing' had in reality taken 
place, suggesting the wording of that conclusion was "a bit of a stretch". He commented that, while 
the consequences were "genuinely interesting" they were as well "hardly surprising". 
The outcomes of the study will no doubt be of great interest to numerous in the scientific 
community, as well as religious groups, those interested in the mystical and those who have 
experienced an ADE or NDE.
