The article discusses the intersection of ancient Greek mythology and modern science concerning life after death. It highlights recent research suggesting that DMT, a naturally occurring neurochemical, could be responsible for vivid hallucinations reported during near-death experiences (NDEs). The study indicates that the brain may release large amounts of DMT shortly before death, creating experiences akin to those reported by NDE survivors. Experts' findings draw parallels between animal studies and human experiences, emphasizing the need for further investigation into this intriguing phenomenon.
The ancient Greeks believed that upon dying, souls are ferried by Charon across the River Styx, linking to modern findings about DMT and near-death experiences.
Researchers at Imperial College London found that DMT could explain the vivid hallucinations during near-death experiences, suggesting our brains might release it at death's door.
