so, you're saying it's a "no brainer"?

But we've actually known that for quite some time, which is why I said the length of time in regard to consciousness is a significant find. Thing is, useful consciousness was measured in seconds in the rare instance that the patient did not lose consciousness instantaneously. This study shows that is apparently longer in some instances.

I've always wondered how odd it might be to be beheaded - for a few seconds (now who knows, maybe a few minutes?) the brain would continue to function. How bizarre!

It would be a very short duration. The loss of blood pressure would be nearly instantaneous. At most, 15 seconds. Probably more on the order of 2-3.

Still, that would be a freaky few seconds!

Quasi-scientific to the point of being almost anecdotal, but this is the most famous 'experiment' in this field:

At 5:30 a.m. this date in 1905, a murderer named Languille lost his head on the guillotine in Orleans.
Some thirty seconds later, he finally lost his life — or so suggests the account of an eyewitness who conducted upon Languille’s head one of the most renowned execution experiments in history in pursuit of that timeless question whether a decapitated head survives.

Amazing!

And not just the historical account, but that there's a website called 'executedtoday.com'.

I am very familiar with the story of poor Languille. I have a morbidly curious side myself. :biggrin:

Still, just an anecdote. By nature, not something you can test with clinical trials. Maybe I'll walk over to UAB at lunch and see if I can get some of the residents to volunteer for one. Don't think I'll have many takers, I'm afraid.

Maybe when their football program gets shut down again.
