Hallo Daniel, tatsächlich gibt der Neurologe hier nicht die wissenschaftliche Konsensmeinung wieder. Eine ähnliche Frage gab es schon in diesem Thread. Hier ist meine Antwort, die ich dort gegeben hatte: Wenn die aktuelle neuronale Aktivität (also Membranpotenziale und Neurotransmitter) zum Erliegen kommt, gehen nur kurzfristige Informationen verloren. Langzeitgedächtnis, Persönlichkeit etc. sind dagegen in der Struktur des Hirns kodiert und bleiben erhalten. Hier ist noch die Antwort aus dem Alcor Scientists' Cryonics FAQ: Q: Can a brain stop working without losing information? A: It is a well-established fact that long-term memories are encoded in durable physical and chemical changes. “We know that secondary memory does not depend on continued activity of the nervous system, because the brain can be totally inactivated by cooling, by general anesthesia, by hypoxia, by ischemia, or by any method, and yet secondary memories that have been previously stored are still retained when the brain becomes active once again. Therefore, secondary memory must result from some actual alterations of the synapses, either physical or chemical.” — Page 658, Textbook of Medical Physiology by Arthur C. Guyton (W.B. Saunders Company, Philadelphia, 1986) Loss of brain activity is not only survivable, but sometimes even beneficial for the prevention and treatment of ischemic injury.
