Here are some mind-blowing facts about the human brain:
- Brain Power: The human brain generates approximately 12-25 watts of electricity-that’s enough to light a small light bulb.
- Speedy Signals: Nerve impulses in the human brain can move at up to 268 miles per hour, or 431 km/h.
- Brain Capacity: This organ can memorize about 2.5 petabytes (1 million gigabytes) of data-the equivalent to 3 million hours of viewing television.
- Brain Hunger: At just 2% of your body’s mass, your brain is the only part that demands nearly 20% of all the oxygen in the body for fuel.
- Rewire Your Brain: Your brain literally reorganises itself by forming new neurons as well as refining circuits of existing neurons in an active process of adapt, change or heal.
- Dreams Factory: On average, sleep for 4-6 hours a night; have 4-6 dreams during that sleep time, with most of which are forgotten.
- Unique Fingerprint: Just like fingerprints, every human’s brain pattern is unique.
- Growing Links: The developing baby’s brain grows very rapidly and makes over 1 million new neural connections in the first year of life in just one single second.
- Silent Ache: Since there is no existence of pain receptors on the brain and thus surgeries can be done over the brain to get rid of a bit of pain-free condition.
- Lifetime Acquisition: The evolving ability of this organ is just that; changes stop or come to a halt; changes are sure to occur even over life-time.
The human brain is indeed one of the most complex and interesting parts of the cosmos.
