When Science Fiction Becomes Science - Your Last Moments May Be Imprinted on Your Brain After Death — NOVA Next | PBS - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh...
"Scientists have developed a technique that can recreate a 3D map of the cells that were firing in a mouse’s brain a few hours before it died, giving them a high-resolution picture of what was going on in the mouse’s head during life—in this case, when it met a member of the opposite sex. The team of researchers published their results yesterday in the journal Cell Reports." - Todd Hoff
