Five Amazing Facts About Your Brain
Five facts about your brain.
- Your brain uses only 12 watts of power. In a day your brain uses about the same amount of energy as two large bananas!! Its a complete energy hog, its only 3% of the body’s total weight but consumes 17% of its energy!
- Frequent Jet Lag can damage your memory! In repeated doses it can do damage to your brain’s health. This is because you are crossing many time zones, this means you can experience brain damages, which produces stress hormones, which causes it. You don’t need to worry unless you cross more than 2 time zones per week, even that might be harmless though!
- Shoot em up games can help you to multitask!! Because the aim of the game is to shoot as many enemies as possible before they shoot you, these games teach you to use a number of controls at once and be trying to look everywhere on the screen at once!! Surprisingly, the game tetras doesn’t have the same effect, perhaps because you only have to concentrate on one object at a time!
- The brain actually has a joke centre! To make it a joke, instead of a logic puzzle, the result needs to be a coherent story that isn’t strictly sensible in everyday terms, says the times online. If you have damage done to the humour part of your brain, given a bunch of punch lines, you will not be able to tell which ones funny!
- Yawns wake up the brain! although we associate yawns with tiredness or boredom they actually wake up the brain! It allows large amounts of air to pass into our lungs, then oxygen enters our blood, making us more alert!
