Over the years, the capacity of the human brain has become a question in the medical field. Recently, an American scientist, Paul Reber,

a professor of psychology at Northwestern University also discussed the same thing.

Reber reveals that the most important human organ consists of billions of neurons. Each neuron consists of a thousand relationships with other neurons, making connections reach trillions of them.

If every neuron can only help store one memory, running out of storage space will be a problem. You might only have a few gigabytes of storage space

similar to storage on an iPod or USB flash drive, "open Reber. exponentially increasing brain memory storage capacity for something closer.

# Its storage memory is approximately 2.5 petabytes (or one million gigabytes). In comparison, if your brain works like a digital video recorder on television, 2.5 petabytes will be enough to record three million hours of TV shows.

You have to leave TV running continuously for more than 300 years to use all of that storage, "he continued.

Even so, the right amount of brain storage capacity is difficult to calculate. First, this is because humans don't know how to measure the size of their memory.

Both certain memories involve more detailed memory and thus take up more space; Other memories are forgotten and thus space becomes free.

Besides that, some information doesn't need to be remembered.
