the claim

Brain cells remain active after death.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that brain cells remain active after death?

Partly. One science-news report describes EEG recordings suggesting a dying patient's brain remained active around and even after the transition to death, while brain-death references define death as complete loss of brain function. Both sides address the claim only in part.
