As We Use The Brain

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Basic brains have only one ounce! Nagging as sometimes asked stupid face anger of others. Carried out, in fact, according to the results of research at Virginia Commonwealth University, quoted by the newspaper intelligence, brain size has nothing to do with intelligence. And no one really has a brain ounces. Normal human brain size in the range of 1.15 to 1.42 kg, about the size of an orange (grapefruit).
Large brain is usually required of people in Antarctica and to support property of visual function. Of course, at the end of the northern hemisphere a visit there that a little sun, so the weather is very cloudy. That’s why they have more visibility than we are on the equator, so I could look around.
While the inhabitants of Micronesia have relatively smaller brains, but certainly not up to one ounce Women have smaller brains than men, 11-12 percent, but that does not mean that men are more intelligent.
“Just the brain associated with several buildings. Areas of the brain with the intelligence in men with different areas of the brain with intelligence in women. There are at least two different architectures of the brain that lead to the same level of intelligence between men and women”, Professor said. Richard Haier, a consultant in neuroscience at the University of California, Irvine.
Need a lot of energy
Another misunderstanding that had circulated for decades, believes that most of us just use your brain about 10 percent. Another big part of it remains unused after it was challenged by some experts, among others, Barry Gordon, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA.
“The evidence shows, we have all day to use the brains of 100 percent,” said John Henley, brain experts at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
In fact, when we sleep, he said, areas of the frontal cortex, the higher level thinking and self-consciousness, or somatic sensory area, which helps us to feel around the control to stay active.
He explained that while no more than 10 percent of the brain that we use every day, but it works all parts of our brain. None were allowed to remain unemployed.
He noted that any part of the brain, their functions, such as the frontal lobe in relation to the motor, cognition, memory and language are, then take responsibility for the study of the cerebral cortex of new information, decisions, etc..
If every time you use every part of the brain at the same time, it will require a lot of energy in the body. Most of the energy of our body, for about 20 percent is allocated for normal brain function. This means that we lack the energy to go around, breathe, eat, digest food and other vital activities.

Physically, our brain is a soft body, usually made of water (78 percent), fat (10 percent) and protein (8 percent). Besides the physical aspects, in fact, many scientists are just a bit of mystery that surrounds the brain to detect. So far it is unclear known about the dreams, the connection between the conscious and the unconscious, the relation between brain and mind, soul and brain, and many other things including the amount of space to the brain.
In this computer age, our brain, often associated with the “brain”, which was in fact the computer is a human creation compared. In our brain there are about 100 billion nerve cells (neurons). Among the nerve cells that have a connection. Experts suspect that many connections, data is stored (memory). It is estimated that to save your brain’s ability to terabytes of data between 1000-1000.
Regardless of the size of our brain, above all, love him driving him a healthy diet, regular exercise, use it only for the positive and helpful to others, even when they are tired and rested. Like muscles, the brain can be achieved and the need to relax, especially when the need to focus on the same long-term task.
For a tired brain, Dr. revitalize. Marc Berman suggested a moment the streets in a city park between the trees big or small, look at the beautiful green garden, instead of a busy shopping center.
“Enjoy the natural beauty of memory will improve performance by up to 20 percent. Instead, you go to crowded places instead, for fear,” said researchers at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, Canada.
Well you can, when the brain is cloudy, the work of a natural look fresh, as fresh and more effective and productive.
