Google search box on right side of my blog area by typing just Brain. I hope everyone will find it interesting.

  • When you’re sleeping, your brain stays awake.
  • The brain itself cannot feel pain? Headache pain is felt in the tissues, nerves and blood vessels surrounding the brain.

  • A baby’s brain triples its size in the first year of life.
  • Men’s brains are on the average 9% bigger than women’s brains. This does not mean men are smarter than women!
  • The diameter of an individual brain neuron is four microns. This means that 30,000 neurons could fit on the head of a pin.
  • Even one night without sleep can create a deficit and generate memory problems.
  • If you have a condition known as “synesthesia,” your brain perceives letters or numbers as having colors.
  • An elephant’s brain weighs about 13 pounds, or about 10 pounds more than yours.
