9 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE BRAIN
The brain is perhaps the body's main organ and is involved in the vast majority of functions our body performs.
Many mysteries about the human brain still exist, but researchers have discovered a number of interesting facts about how it works. Here are nine quick facts to help you begin your journey toward a better understanding of the brain.
The brain is perhaps the body's most important organ and is involved in the vast majority of our body's functions.
Many mysteries still surround the human brain, but researchers have uncovered a number of interesting facts about how it works. Here are nine quick facts to help you begin your journey toward a better understanding of the brain.
IT'S HEAVIER THAN YOU THINK
The average adult human brain weighs about 3 pounds and tends to be larger in men than in women. It's also one of the largest and fattiest organs in our body.
IT'S MOSTLY WATER
The human brain is composed of about 75 percent water, along with fats and proteins.
IT GROWS TREMENDOUSLY FROM INFANCY TO ADULTHOOD
The average weight of a newborn human baby's brain is about 350 to 400 grams, or three-quarters of a pound. That means it grows to about four times its original size from infancy to adulthood.
IT IS COMPOSED OF BILLIONS OF NEURONS
Recent estimates suggest that the average adult brain contains approximately 86 billion nerve cells, also called neurons. Neurons are the messengers of our brain, carrying information and communicating with our sensory organs, our muscles, and with each other.
IT CAN FORM NEW CELLS, EVEN IN ADULTHOOD
The brain continues to form new connections between neurons throughout our lives. Old beliefs suggested that the brain was pretty much set in stone at an early age, but neuroscientists now know that the brain never stops changing.
IT REQUIRES A LOT OF ENERGY TO FUNCTION
While it accounts for only about 2 percent of total body weight, the brain requires about 20 percent of the body's oxygen and 25 percent of the body's glucose.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES ARE PREVENTABLE
Among children and adults between the ages of 1 and 44, traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of disability and death. The most common causes of these traumatic brain injuries include falls, car accidents, and assaults.
OUR BRAINS HAVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN SMALLER
The average size of the human brain has decreased by about 9 cubic inches over the past 5,000 years. This may be due to the fact that our bodies have also gotten smaller over time.
