Curiosities of the Brain

How much energy does the Brain need?

The brain is in many respects the most energy-demanding organ in the body. The human brain represents only 2% of total body mass but consumes 20% of the body’s energy.
What does infant Brain need?

Infants who are not breastfed or are partially breastfed should receive iron-fortified formula from birth to 12 months (The Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Paediatrics).
How much coffee the Brain would like?
