Myths and truth about the human brain


Hello everybody, in this blog I talk you about the “human brain”
Last week, Dr. Maldonado gave us a talk on the brain, myths and truths about the brain.
This talk was very interesting and entertaining, as we explained in great way different topics, different myths that revolve around the human brain

The human brain is the motor nervous system, is the organ that is responsible for the sense of thought, memory and body control. The human brain is a relatively small, weighing about 1.5 pounds and takes about 2 percent of body weight and can consume 20% of the energy consumed by an adult male.

One of the myths that talk was “The human brain is very different from other brain of other animals” on this issue, dr. sowed us photos of brains of different animals, including human brain, and saw that they were very similar in terms of shape, but that one of the big differences was the size, and No other species has come to have a brain as complex as the human being.

Other myths was: “We use 10% of our brain capacity”, and this is a big mistake, because the neuroscience findings now show that the brain is 100% active, what we do know is that every part of the brain has a specific function.

Well, these were two of the myths that most caught my attention during the talk, I hope you enjoyed it as I did with Dr. Maldonado.
See you soon!
