1. The weight of the human brain is about 3 lbs. 50 pounds per horsepower.
We might be a little slow in catching up ? 1908 model T Ford 60 pounds per horsepower. But a 2009 Harley cruiser motorcycle 11 pounds per horsepower. While a Corvette is as little as 7 pounds per horsepower. The animal with the largest brain-size-to-body-size ratio is the hummingbird.
2. Your skin weighs twice as much as your brain.
Your feelings might be more important than you think ?
3. The brain is made up of about 75% water.
Babies have as much or more percent of water as the brain does but you can’t say us oldies are all washed up; in reality we are all dried out, only 50 to 60 percent water.
4. There are no pain receptors in the brain, so the brain can feel no pain.
We shouldn’t, but lots of times we let that unfeeling attitude get out into the world around us.
5. The first sense to develop while in utero is the sense of touch. The lips and cheeks can experience touch at about 8 weeks and the rest of the body around 12 weeks.
Still the focal point of feelings . . .
6. Your brain uses 20% of the total oxygen in your body.
Hence, fresh air and exercise !
7. While awake, your brain generates up to 40 watts of power–enough to power a light bulb.
And you wonder where we got the light bulb above the head for an idea.
8. Memories triggered by scent have a stronger emotional connection, therefore appear more intense than other memory triggers.
Wish I had a better sense of smell. Note the emotional connection !
9. The average number of thoughts that humans are believed to experience each day is 70,000.
No comment . . .
10. Aristotle mistakenly (?) thought that the functions of the brain actually took place in the heart.
‘Actually’ if you study the Bible you can find every function that we attribute to the brain also attributed to the heart.
“Through much of history, the mind was thought to be separate from the brain. Even for present-day neuroscience, the mechanisms by which brain activity gives rise to consciousness and thought remain very challenging to understand: despite rapid scientific progress, much about how the brain works remains a mystery.”
We know all sorts of interesting facts but there is still a whole lot that we do not know about the brain. We recommend that you try using it. This is where we learn how to think, not what to think.
There has to be more to us than we think, whether it is actually localized in the brain or not, we have this uncanny ability to communicate in a non physical (or supra physical) way. People keep going back to that phrase from the movie “if you do it he will come”; well, if you learn the principles we are studying, the broadcasting and receiving will be there when you need it.
