Curiosities of the Brain

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.
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).
What is the life of the Brain before you were born?

Before the birth your brain creates 15 000000 neurons every hour. 50% of neurons will die before the birth. Your brain eats 70% of all calories that fetus gets.
