After thousands of years studied by many, began to unfold some of the mysterious human brain. There are several facts that may have occurred previously never on humans.
The brain is one of the most amazing organs in the human body, because he can control the central nervous system function normally.
The human brain is very complex and consists of about 100 billion nerve cells (neurons) and there are so many things going on inside the brain with a variety of different areas. Because of the brain, including the vital organs in the human life.
From HowStuffWorks quoted here are some other facts about the human brain are largely unknown:
1st The brain remains active, even when the head is severed.
Based on the observations of some of the story is well known that the human brain, it can remain active for a few seconds after the head chopped off. But the doctors believe that it is a reflection of muscle spasms.
Dr. Harold Hillman, a former director of the Unity Laboratory of Applied Neurobiology at the University of Surrey, said that the death occurred due to the separation between the brain and spinal cord, but it is painful, that too many countries do not impose this method.
2nd The brain can learn about subliminal messages.
The brain can learn to influence the message from a person's subconscious, that the person's behavior. Many companies use this as a promotional event for someone to buy its products influence.
3rd The drugs can cause holes in the brain.
One study suggested the use of drugs like marijuana can relieve a bit of memory, while there may be cause for drugs like cocaine or ecstasy holes in the brain. In fact, the only thing that can cause holes in the brain, the result of trauma or physical effects.
In addition to a study from the New Scientist claimed the use of long-term medication abnormal growth of the brain that are permanent can cause, it is difficult to change the behavior of an addict.
4th The human brain is gray.
Some parts of the body has its own color, blood, tissue, bone or other liquids. But if the human brain preserved in a jar and still beat most of the gray, because it is sometimes called is whole brain gray matter. But the brain also contains white matter remains that consists of nerve fibers connecting the gray matter.
While the black component is the substantia nigra, which is a black neuromelanin, a special pigment that is the same color of skin and hair and the border of the basal ganglia.
5th The human brain is the biggest brain.
Some animals can their brains to do different things done by man. But the truth is the greatest human brain size is compared to the brains of all animal species. The average brain weight of 1.361 kg adult human is heavy, the weight is considered almost the same with animals dolphin as an intelligent animal.
But the weight of his brain size is compared, so that the human brain remains the largest. In addition to intelligence, is also associated with various components in the brain, and mammals have the largest cerebral cortex responsible for memory function, communication and thinking.
