Are you aware of the fact that our brains are much more efficient than computers in every way? Or that our brains have 100,000 miles of blood vessels, which is enough to circle the earth four times?<\/p>\n

Well, the brain is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind organ. Thinking takes place in the brain and specifically, in cells called neurons, which are connected to each \u00a0other by branches.<\/p>\n

Here are the 9 amazing facts about your brain that you should know:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The human brain is the only object of any kind that can anticipate itself.<\/li>\n
  2. Our brain can only feel pleasure. There are no pain receptors in the brain. Whenever we experience migraine or headache, the pain actually arises in the meninges (brain\u2019s covering).<\/li>\n
  3. The brain runs on electricity, producing enough power to light a 25 watt bulb.<\/li>\n
  4. The brain is both the hottest (2.5 degrees celsius warmer than core body temperature) and \u201chottest\u201d (arousal actually starts in your brain) part of the body.<\/li>\n
  5. The brain\u2019s ability to create new connectivity is known to occur throughout life.<\/li>\n
  6. The brain is at least half fats.<\/li>\n
  7. Brains have the consistency of a loose gelatin dessert. Brains removed for study are specially treated to make them firm.<\/li>\n
  8. Your eyeballs are an extension of your brain and are directly connected to it.<\/li>\n
  9. The collection of neurons lining the stomach and intestines operates independently to digest food and is sometimes called the second brain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These facts surprised you right?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

    Since we talking about the most complex human organ, let us tell you a few more things to help you understand it better:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • One can survive with only half of the brain.<\/li>\n
    • Your brain can physically paralyze you.<\/li>\n
    • Victims of brain stroke are capable of generating new neurons to reverse paralysis.<\/li>\n
    • The \u201cplacebo effect\u201d works because your brain wants it to.<\/li>\n
    • Your brain can outlive your body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
