Memory capacity in the human brain is about 2.5 petabytes or about 1 million gigabytes.
The specialty of the brain is related to memory storage capabilities that are millions of times larger than the most sophisticated memory in any hemisphere. The hypothesis by US researchers, Professor Paul Reber, a professor of psychology at Northwestern University concluded that adult human brain capacity is about 2.5 petabytes or about 1 million gigabytes.Learning by reading, counting, and memorizing will make the brain volume larger.
Until now, the image of a smart kid at school is a good kid in reading, writing, and speaking (IQ) intelligence. Why this paradigm can be believed to be a barometer of a child's intelligence? Because children who are good at counting, counting, analyzing, and other logical things usually have larger brain volumes.Not consuming most of your body's energy
Although it only weighs 2% of all your weight, the brain requires 15% of the heart output and 20% of the total oxygen intake into the body. More interestingly, large amounts of this oxygen is still needed when the brain is resting, and there is still no answer to the question as to why this need exists. To supply this need, 3 main arteries are required, and if one of these arteries is stuck !.The brain can create enough electricity to light a low-wattage lamp
The brain contains about 90 billion neurons. Brain activity never stops, and while a single neuron produces only a small amount of electricity, all neurons together can produce enough electricity to light the lamp.
Brain has more than 100 times higher computational capacity than previously thought, say UCLA scientists:

never heard that before, thanks for sharing
yea, that's right
Cool facts. I would be interested in a breakdown of facts about the different parts of the brain.
thanks ..
