Brain: It’s Functions and Interesting Facts
Published by The brain has thousands of functions! It controls our body and our memory.
Our brain is our guide to life. It controls our body and gives us messages. I believe it is important to train our brain using various activities. For example, writing about certain subjects. Utilizing your knowledge helps keep your brain in check. I also enjoy puzzles such as Sudoku and Word Searches. Both activities can be found in little books that are fairly cheap. Of course if you don’t want to waste your money, you can go online to a free Sudoku website. Click here. If Sudoku’s aren’t your type of puzzle then you may enjoy Word Searches instead. If you want some good word search websites, then please click here or here.
Here are some fun facts about the brain!
1. The brain can stay alive for 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen.
2. Since the brain has no pain receptors, it can feel no pain.
3. Over 250,000 neurons develop per minute during pregnancy.
4. Alcohol interferes with the brain by slowing the communication between the neurons.
5. The left part of the brain controls the right part of the body and vice versa.
6. Your brain generates enough energy to power a light bulb when you are awake.
7. Every time you create a new memory or remember a memory, a new neuron connection is being made.
8. Memories that are triggered by smells appear more intense.
9. Humans are believed to have around 70,000 thoughts a day.
10. There are about 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the brain.
The brain is so interesting! There is a whole profession based on brain function called neurology! I hope this article has intrigued you and made you think!
