Pathophysiology of stress-induced limbic lobe dysfunction: A hypothesis for NDEs.
1982 Daniel J.j. Carr 70 citations
This paper discusses the strong resemblance of near-death experiences (NDEs) to complex hallucinations associated with limbic lobe dysfunction. The paper presents the hypothesis that neurohormones with the capacity to influence hippocampal activity may also cause characteristics of NDE limbic lobe syndrome.
