Curiosities of the Brain

What fuel does the Brain use?

Almost entirely on Glucose. Glucose intake improves cognition in adults. The effect is rapid but of short duration (15–60 minutes).
How much coffee the Brain would like?

Coffee does much more than keep you awake – it actually reduced cognitive decline. Studies demonstrated that the optimal dose was three cups of coffee per day. Caffeine was proposed to stimulate certain neurons that protect against neurotoxicity.
What is a computing power of the Brain?

One neuron performs up to 200 computations per sec, whereas a brain is capable to perform 20 million billions of computations per sec.
