Footnote 2

" Toward  1936, surgeons at the Montreal (Canada)  Neurological Institute of McGill  University  began inserting tiny needle  electrodes  in different  parts of exposed  brains, particularly  in the cerebral cortex. this line  of study  permitted  even more accurate  mapping  of the  inside of the brain. For when  the surgeons touched  certain parts  of the  exposed brain with  the electric needle, the semiconscious patient would remember and speak about  long-forgotten incidents  of his earlier years. in other words, the stream of consciousness could be electrically reactivated.

Footnote 1

Since sense organ's  neurons are external/exposed  brain cells,  and  central nervous system's (CNS')  neurons  are internal  brain cells,  we  can conclude empirically that  if  certain  CNS'  brain cells  are  used  as  sensory  neuroreceptors, the  consciousnesses produced are originated too from  the  initial depolarization-repolarization (i.e. initial contact) of  the  sodium (Na+) ions &  chloride (Cl-) ions  or sodium ions & inorganic phosphate (IP)  ions  or  potassium (K+) ions  & inorganic phosphate (IP)  ions  in the  neurons after  the neurotransmitter  attaches  on the membrane  receptors.  Sensory  neurons of the sense organs are external  portion  or extension  of the brain and, in some aspects, can represent brain cells.

When Man Died

"...but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. ...for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." -Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10 King Solomon was teaching what are observable facts: the human memory system and the man himself did not function rationally consciouis if man is dead. But of course anti-Bible preachers & mystics deny this fact and tend to believe on unknown mystery.
 
When man died his memory system, emotional condition (love, hate, envy), and thoughts or mental activities have biologically perished, too. Also, his soul dies, and while his physical body returns into the dust, and his breath of life goes back to its Giver. The reason for this factual biological phenomenon is that the entire composition of man: his wisdom, mind, memory system, love, hate, envy, physical body, soul, and breath of life (respiration, spirit) are all absolutely made up of the dust's tiniest particles (i.e., photons), since man is created by the earth's dust. Whether we accept it or not, it is a fact that man is absolutely made up of dust's tiniest particles. In fact, living man continuously emits light rays (quanta of photons). This is why living brain generates mind, and mind controls some molecules of the brain (neurons). This psychokinetic influence of the mind is factually & directly true for its generator (that is, neurons of the brain). It is a fact that mind can control some brain's molecules as those molecules may control the mind.
In Nascentirapsology we explain and illustratively show how biological molecules generate mind & emotions and, in reversal activities, how mind controls those bio-molecules.
Emotions are biologically done by different bio-molecules & biological processes, but its main contents are the neuropeptides responding to & from neurons and other cells. Hearth & reins (kidneys & adrenal glands) are responding to the brain to have physical activities of emotion and in the biblical times they were called "mind". Sometimes, digestive system was called "mercy" in the biblical times, scientifically because stomach excretes neuropeptides.
Man (which is composed of body, soul, and spirit) is dust and unto dust will return. His physical body, soul, and wisdom die as he dies and this is in accordance with the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, which can be stated:
