Today we celebrate World Brain Day.
Here are some more interesting facts about him:
The brain is like a muscle and the more it is exercised, the more it develops. The brain of an average-aged person weighs 1424 grams. With age, it decreases to 1395 grams. The heaviest female brain is 1565 grams, and the heaviest male – 2049 grams. The brain evolves – in 1860, the average male brain weighed 1,372 grams.
The smallest female brain belongs to a woman – 1096 grams. That's still a lot more than the weight of a dinosaur's brain – only 70 grams. The brain develops most rapidly from 2 to 11 years of age. The more we learn, the better. Educational activity causes the brain to produce additional cells that compensate for the dying ones.
Doing unfamiliar sciences is a good way to develop the brain. The transmission of signals from the nervous system to the brain reaches a speed of 288 km/h, and in adults it decreases by 15%. The world's largest brain donor is the Monastic Order in Mankato, Minnesota (USA). The highest IQ is held by Marilyn Mitch, who at the age of ten had an IQ equal to that of a 23-year-old woman.
The Japanese have the highest average national IQ in the world - 111. Creighton Carvello has the best ultra-photographic memory – he can memorize the cards in 6 columns of 52 (312pcs) at a glance. In our life we use no more than 5-7% of our brain's capacity. It has been proven that all human beings possess a brain, but in some it is hardly used.
