  1. The brain has activity for 4 minutes during which you would dream about either the afterlife you believe in or you watch your life play like a movie backwards. After that it decays obviously. When you’re about to die it is not the life you lived that flashes before your eyes, it’s the life you didn’t live, the life you could’ve lived that you see. Also, if you were to be decapitated, your brain can keep consciousness for up to 8 seconds.

  2. The brain is composed of about 63% water. Its cells unlike muscle is always soft and squishy. So when the person dies and ceases to intake water, the brain begins to shrivel and rot with the other organs, but at a faster pace than so many other organs and muscle tissues. The brain is one of the fastest organs to die without a constant supply of oxygen and blood. Other organs can have living cells for hours, while the brain does not.
