???? Les Mardis de l'Espace des sciences ???? https://www.espace-sciences.org/renne... Death is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer an event precipitated by the stopping of the heart, but a slow and complex cerebral process, during which neurons pass through uncertain states towards the twilight of phenomenal consciousness. As we approach the point of no return, still undetectable, an unexpected burst of activity occurs in the cerebral cortex. Is it at the origin of near-death experiences? Does it allow us to consciously and fleetingly grasp the end of our conscious existence or is it only the swan song of neurons close to definitively extinguishing themselves? While discussing these questions, we will follow step by step the erratic decline of the brain towards an ever-elusive death. With Stéphane Charpier, Professor of Neuroscience at Sorbonne University, he leads an Inserm team at the Brain Institute in Paris. He was a student at the Pasteur Institute. ????
