Brain Dead
Exploring the Astonishing World of Survival Without a Brain
In truth, you need your brain to do a lot of things, and without one, you can't do much of anything at all. So, in a literal sense, is there such a thing as a "no-brainer?"
Let's start with the decapitation of no-header. I realize it's a morbid subject, but what's the alternative? what's the problem? Are you afraid of heights? That's OK. Because Mike most surely was. Lloyd, a farmer, died in 1945. Olsen went outside to get a chicken for dinner. He severed the chicken's head, but it did not die. Mike The Headless Chicken survived for a further 18 months. He astonished everyone while touring the country onlookers. He could walk and perch, and he was fed by putting small drips of water or pieces of food in his mouth. He sucked a grain down his throat. But here's the catch. The acts of Mike the Headless Chicken weren't obvious since, while he didn't have much of his "head" left, he did have a portion of his brain stem. If we want a more obvious no-brainer, we'll have to look at a simpler creature. The cockroach is a type of insect. These men don't even breathe via their skulls, so they're good without one. Instead, they breathe through holes in their skin. Instead of a large, gigantic brain, they are controlled by small bundles of nerves called ganglia that run throughout their bodies. A cockroach may exist without any head pieces, even when entirely decapitated can survive for several weeks. It can walk about and react to movement. The only issue with it is that it will starve to death if it does not have its head. Humans are not quite as lucky. We perish in seconds if we don't have a head and a brain. Not right away. But, before you become envious, remember that with our heads intact, we are capable of acts that do not necessitate the use of the brain: reflexes. When you snap your fingers. Your finger moves at around 20 miles per hour. A powerful sneeze might also discharge air. reaching about 30-40 mph. But nerve impulses are extremely fast. They can reach speeds of up to 250 mph. However, that is not always fast enough. For example, if you inadvertently put your Cells are dying swiftly when you put your hand on a hot stove. And 250 mph isn't enough; you need to go faster. It's not worth it to immediately inform your brain of what's going on. And As a result, your first impulse to draw away is mediated by other sections of your neurological system. Involuntary and unconscious processes are similarly affected. Thus, these unconscious, involuntary, or reflexive activities could be included. no-brainers.
But I'm not completely satisfied because they still require your intellect. be there to keep you alive. So, what if you didn't exist? So, in your lifeless, brainless state, Your muscle cells still contain some energy in the form of ATP in your body. Backyard Brains illustrates this with bug parts on YouTube. This leg is no longer available. connected to the brain or the body, yet the energy remains in the cells. As a result, when the leg is touched or even merely breathed on, it can detect electrical signals. "That popping sound you're hearing is the spontaneous discharge rate of the still-living neurons in the leg." Muscle cells in a human limb would react in the same way. However, cables are not required. to see such conduct. Salt can also be used. The addition of sodium ions can cause a process analogous to an action potential in a living animal. These fresh vegetables have been salted. Frog legs cause them to dance, but only for a short time. The cells will gradually deplete. or simply decay. However, there are numerous additional brief candidates for no-brainers at the moment of death.
You may argue that without a brain, your body no longer knows what you want. It is no longer valid. You do things because you've determined to do them. In other words, it may be a no-brainer. It is impossible for you to do since it demands you to not use yourself. If you are only what your brain does, rather than what your cells do on their own, when the brain is gone, being you, being alive, becomes a no-brainer.
