How fast can you find your way?
Your brain – basic facts
100 billion neurons
1080 atoms in the universe
101.000.000.000 possible mind states
Weighs: 2% of body weight
Uses: 25% glucose and oxygen

video and then go to “Format”
on the top menu line and then
use the crop function.
Neurons are connected by synapses
Each neuron has 5000 synapses
Brain activity is merely electrical
impulses flashing around the brain
