The brain is the most complex and important organ of our human body, since it is the one that is in charge of controlling the whole body and the functions that we carry out. Even the World Neurology Foundation proposed July 22 as World Brain Day , with the main objective of raising awareness about its importance.
Here are some curiosities based on the brain:
The brain does not feel pain: This is because it is responsible for detecting pain and every time we feel discomfort, the brain activates to tell us which area hurts.
It has about a billion neurons: These are necessary for all our mental processes.
It is 2% of our body weight and uses 20% of the body's energy to keep us balanced.
It is 70% water: When you start to get dehydrated you start to lose concentration, do things slower and feel short of breath.
It sends signals at 360 km/h: This is why when we think about performing an action and when we do it, not a second has passed.
Do one thing at a time: Even if you think you are capable of doing several activities at the same time, it is recommended that you do not do so, because the brain must perform each function well and thus be more concentrated.
Almost the entire percentage of your brain makes decisions and your subconscious is the one who makes them.
New cell phones are not recommended due to electromagnetic frequencies, this is why sometimes you feel that your brain, head or eyes are exhausted.
Our entire brain is constantly working, even when we are sleeping.
When you are not able to remember something, it is because your brain is playing tricks on you: This is because most of the time we remember the good things and not the bad ones, which makes us think things that seem positive but are actually not convenient.
