Ever wondered how you can react so fast to things around you? Its due to the super-speedy movement of nerve impulses from your brain to the rest of your body and vice versa, bringing reactions at the speed of a high powered luxury sports car.
MASS STORAGE
The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the encyclopedia Britannica any other encyclopedia for that matter,the storage capacity in electronic terms is thought to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. The national archives of Britain containing over 900 years of history only takes up to 70 terabytes making your brain memory power pretty darn impressive.
IT CAN FEEL NO PAIN
Your brain can feel no pain because it has no brain receptors, you may have heard when people feel a headache, they say its the brain which plagues them, but really, the nerve impulses which transmits the pain.
GREAT ENERGY SOURCE
Your brain is a great energy source while your awake it generates 20-23 watts of power more than enough to power a light bulb.
BRAIN NEURONS
The human brain consists of approximately 100 billion neurons (which is as many cells as there are stars in milky way). Each neuron has somewhere between 1,000 and 10;000 synapses , equaling about 1 quadrillion synapses. If all the neurons in the human brain were lined up, they would stretch 600 miles. Neurons continue to grown throughout human life ( women have more brain neurons).
80 % OF THE BRAIN IS WATER
Your brain isn't the firm, gray mass you've seen on TV. Living brain tissue is a squishy pink and jelly-like organ thanks to the loads of blood and high water content of the tissue. So the next time you're feeling dehydrated get a drink to keep your brain hydrated.
IT FEELS NO PAIN
The brain can feel no pain because it has no pain receptors or sensory system of any kind. Therefore any changes in temperature,pressure or even damage to brain tissue would not be detected by your brain unless it has affected an area connected to the nervous system. When people experience headache the pain is actually resulting from pressure on nerve tissue or blood vessels that surrounds the brain, not the brain itself.
YOUR BRAIN CAN CREATE STRANGE ILLUSIONS AT GREAT HEIGHTS
When you climb over 8,000 ft likely on the mountain, your body will start to feel an oxygen deprivation . It affects your brain cells which are responsible for the visual and facial identification processing. As a result , your naked eyes will see very strange illusions like kind of light that emanates from yourself or others. Even you can see the second body of your own. Really strange.
Extra fact: Your mind is somewhere in your brain.
