CrystalMagic Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Have you heard about the fact that the Arctic ground squirrel, when frozen, cuts off the electricity of the brain and then turns it on? This is a mystery as far as I know? My question will probably be funny? I want to know if it is possible to repeat this in humans? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/arctic-ground-squirrel-brain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an exaggeration, if you read the article carefully. Our whole bodies, run on electricity. And the squirrels have an unusually low residual state in hibernation. Electricity is not turned on and off like a light switch, it is an integral part of body processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
