are speeding through your nervous system at any given moment, enabling your brain to receive, process, and store information, and to send instructions all over the body.
Your brain is capable of so much more than you might give it credit for. Just take a moment to consider all the things made by human beings. From the earliest tool, such as
a pickax, to the modern skyscraper, and from the largest dam to the smallest microchip—the human brain is where all of these objects were first conceived. Undoubtedly, the brain is the most powerful tool at mankind’s disposal.
Your brain works around the clock. It generates more electrical impulses each day than all the mobile phones in the world. You have billions of tiny brain nerve cells interacting with each other in permutations that have been estimated to equal 1 with 800 zeros behind it. (To make that remotely graspable, the number of atoms in the world—one of the smallest material things we can get a fix on— is estimated to be 1.33 with 48 zeros after it.)
Your brain runs on less power than your refrigerator light. That’s about 12 watts of power. During the course of a day your brain uses the amount of energy contained in a small chocolate bar, around 230 calories. Even though these facts might make the brain sound efficient, in relative terms, it is an energy hog. Your brain accounts for merely 2 percent of the body’s weight, but consumes 20 percent of the body’s total energy. Your brain requires a tenth of a calorie per minute merely to survive. Your brain consumes energy at ten times the rate of the rest of the body per gram of tissue. The majority of this energy goes into maintenance of the brain.
