What does a person experience when they’re in a coma? Are they dreaming, aware, or completely unconscious? In this episode, we break down the science of coma states—how they happen, what the brain is doing, and what patients report after waking up. From medically induced comas to traumatic brain injuries, we explore the biology of consciousness, recovery challenges, and the unexpected stories of those who came back.
You’ll learn:
🔬 What causes coma and how the brain behaves during it
🧠 The difference between a coma, vegetative state, and brain death
👁️ Whether coma patients can hear or feel what’s around them
💉 Why doctors put some patients into coma intentionally 🕰️ What recovery looks like after waking up
Join us as we uncover the mysterious world between life and unconsciousness—and what it reveals about the human brain.
