Some facts about the human brain

 Here are some facts about the human brain:

Size

The human brain is about the size of a softball and weighs around 3 pounds. It's larger relative to body size than the brains of many other mammals. 

 

Composition

The brain is made up of 60% fat, making it the fattiest organ in the body. It also contains more cell types than any other tissue in the body. 

 

Function

The brain is responsible for interpreting pain, but it doesn't actually feel pain. It also has the ability to create new connections throughout life. 

 

Energy use

The brain uses about 20% of the oxygen in the blood and 25% of the glucose in the bloodstream, even though it only makes up about 2% of body weight. 

 

Development

The brain continues to grow until around the age of 18, and it's not fully developed until well after the teenage years. 

 

Brain health

Exercise can improve brain health and behavior. Eating seafood, which contains fatty acids that can improve brain performance, may also be beneficial. 

 

Other facts

The brain has 100,000 miles of blood vessels, which is enough to circle the Earth four times. The brain works faster than a computer and can solve problem

s more efficiently.
