Abstract:Conclusions Brain death (or cerebral death) means definitive cessation of all neural functions above the spinal cord, thus implying the irreversible loss of all cerebral and brain stem functions.Spinal cord activity may persist after brain death-priapism, persistence of myotatic reflexes- for a few minutes and this spinal activity may be responsible for coarse limb movements after life-support machines have been turned off.The preservation of these spinal reflexes reinforces the advice to allow only responsible doctors to assist at the declaration of death of the patient.
