Some interesting
facts about our BRAIN:
The average
adult human BRAIN weighs three
pounds,, has a texture like firm jelly & is made up of 75 percent water..
Every time our
heart beats,, our arteries carry 20 to 25 percent of our blood to the BRAIN.. The harder we think the more
oxygen & fuel our BRAIN will use
from our blood – up to 50 percent..
Every time we
recall a memory or have a new thought,, our BRAIN creates a connection.. The average number of thoughts a
person has each day is 70,,000..
There are
100 billion neurons (nerve cells) in the BRAIN,,
but they make up only 10 percent of the BRAIN..
These neurons branch out to 100 trillion-plus trigger points,, forming what
experts call a “neuron forest..” Size doesn’t matter in the BRAIN.. There is no evidence that a
larger BRAIN is smarter than a
smaller BRAIN..
There are
100,,000 miles of blood vessels in the BRAIN..
The distance around the world at the equator is 24,,900 miles..
A joint
study by Harvard University,, Dartmouth College & the University of
Aberdeen in Scotl& found the parts of the BRAIN that control “task-unrelated thought” (such as daydreaming)
are almost always active when the BRAIN
is at rest..
The rate at
which our BRAIN processes
information can range from 0..5 meters/second (about 1 mile per hour) to
120 meters/second (268 MPH)..
