Curiosities of the Brain

What is in a Brain?

Mostly Fat! About 60% of the brain is composed of lipids. The brain needs lipid for insulation, and for the speed of operation of neuronal messaging.
How does the Brain breathe?

Brain needs 10 times more oxygen than the whole organism.
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.
