Brain Structure and Functioning&
An adult brain is approximately the size of two fists and weighs 1.4 kg. It occupies 1/50 of the body by volume.
Although the brain constitutes 2% of the body's total weight, it uses 25% of all oxygen taken in, 20% of the calories and 15% of the blood circulating in the body. .
The number of neurons in our brain is approximately 100 billion. Approximately 10-15 billion of these are nerve cells, and the rest are glia, which serve as building blocks.
Each brain cell can connect with 15,000 brain cells.
Each neuron communicates with the other neuron within less than 10 milliseconds. can reach you in a short time. (This duration is less than one-tenth of our blink time.)
The number of possible connections of the neurons in our brain is greater than the number of atoms in the entire universe.
The connection capacity of the neurons in one gram of the brain is greater than the entire telephone network in the world.
By the age of five, more than 50% of the connections between neurons have been established.
Brain cells die less and slower than other cells; New cells are not produced instead.
An average person can only use 1-2 of his brain capacity.
Humanity has doubled what it knows about the brain in the last 10 years. However, today we can understand at most 5% of our brain.
Even if new information is loaded into the brain every 10 seconds, only half of the brain will be used in an average lifetime.
