A human can last about 4-6 minutes without breathing before experiencing brain damage due to lack of oxygen. After this point, permanent damage or death can occur. It's important to provide immediate medical attention if someone has been submerged for a prolonged period of time.

It appears to be primarily responsible for our emotional life, and has to do with the formation of memories."


Do you lose brain cells if you sleep with your head under the blanket?

No, sleeping with your head under a blanket does not lead to brain cell loss. However, it may affect air circulation and lead to overheating or decreased oxygen intake, potentially causing discomfort and disrupting sleep quality. It is generally recommended to ensure proper ventilation while sleeping.

How do neurons divide and regenerate in the human brain?

Neurons in the human brain do not typically divide or regenerate like other cells in the body. Once neurons are damaged or lost, they are not easily replaced. However, there is ongoing research on ways to stimulate neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons, in certain regions of the brain. Additionally, some studies suggest that under certain conditions, existing neural stem cells in the brain may be able to produce new neurons.
