    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Cervello 1

In the hours following death, the brain, that vast sea of synapses, stops flowing. The cells, once in full force, are now heading towards their end. The electrical connections, which weaved the networks of thoughts and memories, weaken, like a river that loses its current. Interneurons begin to cease their exchange of electrical signals. Long-term memory, the one that lived in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, is now out of breath. The synaptic proteins that bound the information together are destroyed. Like small molecules of calcium, accumulated in the synapses, which no longer transmit life, disintegrate and dissolve into nothingness. The brain, deprived of oxygen, stops synthesizing ATP, the source that powered every cognitive process. The memory traces, which previously solidified in the memory, now liquefy like crystals that cannot resist breaking. Microglia awaken, but not to protect. They attack, consume, remove dead cells, swallowing pieces of what was once thought.
In every corner of the mind, neurotransmitters no longer flow. The glutamate that connected the memories is dispersed, the acetylcholine that ignited the clarity of thought vanishes. The images, once as clear as photographs, now fade into an indistinct nothingness. The face of a love, the sound of a laugh, the scent of a distant morning become shapeless shadows. As decomposition advances, even implicit memory, linked to movements and habits, succumbs to the collapse of the nervous system. The body lets go and the motor trajectories that once found their reflection in the muscles dissolve, like notes erased on a blackboard. And so, in the slow fading of matter, memories do not all shatter in one fell swoop. The synapses gradually crumble, like leaves falling in a long autumn, until, after weeks, every trace of the past is annihilated, and nothing remains except the silence of what once was.

Dans les heures qui suivent la mort, le cerveau, cette vaste mer de synapses, cesse de couler. Les cellules, autrefois en pleine puissance, se dirigent désormais vers leur fin. Les connexions électriques, qui tissaient les réseaux de pensées et de souvenirs, s'affaiblissent, comme une rivière qui perd son courant. Les interneurones commencent à cesser leur échange de signaux électriques. La mémoire à long terme, celle qui vivait dans l'hippocampe et le cortex préfrontal, est désormais à bout de souffle. Les protéines synaptiques qui liaient les informations entre elles sont détruites. Comme de petites molécules de calcium, accumulées dans les synapses, qui ne transmettent plus la vie, se désintègrent et se dissolvent dans le néant. Le cerveau, privé d'oxygène, cesse de synthétiser l'ATP, la source qui alimentait tout processus cognitif. Les traces de mémoire, qui se solidifiaient auparavant dans la mémoire, se liquéfient désormais comme des cristaux qui ne peuvent résister à la rupture. La microglie se réveille, mais pas pour protéger. Elle attaque, consomme, élimine les cellules mortes, avalant des morceaux de ce qui était autrefois pensé.
Dans tous les recoins de l'esprit, les neurotransmetteurs ne circulent plus. Le glutamate qui reliait les souvenirs se disperse, l'acétylcholine qui enflammait la clarté de la pensée disparaît. Les images, autrefois aussi nettes que des photographies, s'estompent désormais dans un néant indistinct. Le visage d'un amour, le son d'un rire, l'odeur d'un matin lointain deviennent des ombres informes. À mesure que la décomposition avance, même la mémoire implicite, liée aux mouvements et aux habitudes, succombe à l'effondrement du système nerveux. Le corps lâche prise et les trajectoires motrices qui trouvaient autrefois leur reflet dans les muscles se dissolvent, comme des notes effacées sur un tableau noir. Ainsi, dans la lente disparition de la matière, les souvenirs ne se brisent pas tous d'un seul coup. Les synapses s'effritent peu à peu, comme les feuilles qui tombent au cours d'un long automne, jusqu'à ce que, après des semaines, toute trace du passé soit annihilée, et qu'il ne reste plus que le silence de ce qui fut.
Very well written, with a poetic style ! Congratulations. But do we really know how much time it takes, step by step, and if what you beautifuly describe is what happens really ? (because it could be differences between people, each brain is singular even if we share big lines of course). And does it mean that it needs many hours after the Death to be THE END actually ? If someone dies for example in plane crash, with the body and thr brain completely destroyed and in pieces on the ground, wouldn't it be THE END immediately ?

Interesting! Well said 💜

You're right, and I understand the point you're making. What I described refers to a gradual process that happens over hours or days after death, when the brain, deprived of oxygen, starts to deteriorate slowly. This is the case in slower deaths, like from illness, where the brain has time to undergo this decline. But in extreme situations like a plane crash, where the damage is immediate and massive, brain death would be practically instantaneous. In those cases, the brain is destroyed so quickly that there's no room for the slow dissolution of memories that I described. So, in such cases, memories and brain functions cease instantly, without going through the gradual process that applies to other situations.

Vous avez raison, et je comprends votre point de vue. Ce que j'ai décrit fait référence à un processus graduel qui se produit au cours des heures ou des jours qui suivent la mort, lorsque le cerveau, privé d'oxygène, commence à se détériorer lentement. C'est le cas dans les morts plus lentes, comme celles dues à une maladie, où le cerveau a le temps de subir ce déclin. Mais dans des situations extrêmes comme un accident d'avion, où les dommages sont immédiats et massifs, la mort cérébrale serait pratiquement instantanée. Dans ces cas-là, le cerveau est détruit si rapidement qu'il n'y a pas de place pour la lente dissolution des souvenirs que j'ai décrit. Ainsi, dans de tels cas, les souvenirs et les fonctions cérébrales cessent instantanément, sans passer par le processus graduel qui s'applique.

Alors, voulez-vous dire que ce que vous décrivez se produit même lorsque quelqu'un est déclaré cliniquement mort, avec un encéphalogramme plat ?
And in case of full suspension for example, when someone is found 1 or 2 hours later and is declared dead, with flat encephalogram too ? Sorry for the questions, I try to understand exactly. Thank you.
