Curiosities of the Brain

How fast does the Brain develop?

Brain volume doubles between birth and six months of age, triples from birth to two and will reach adult volume at around five years of age.
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.
Should you make the Brain drunk?

Very low doses can have the positive effect of reducing damage caused by mental or emotional stress and can actually improve response times. In sustained high doses alcohol “shrinks” the brain that results in cognitive impairment. Foetal alcohol exposure has multiple bad effects on infant brain development and represents a leading cause of mental retardation.
