Here is a test for your entertainment, value and enjoy.
How much do you know about the brain?
Questions (write down your answers anywhere)
1. The human brain is capable of processing images ...
a. In less than a second
b. In less than five seconds
c. In less than ten seconds
2. Does the brain of an adult make new neurons?
a. Yes
b. Do not
c. It depends
3. How much does a brain weigh?
a. Around 700 grams
b. Around 1000 grams
c. Around 1400 grams
4. The brain shrinks in the absence of Vitamin D
a. True
b. False
5. What Olympic sports are good for the brain?
a. Wrestling
b. Athletics and swimming
c. Archery and swimming
6. Eating chocolate protects the brain
a. True
b. False
7. How much information fits in the brain?
a. Between 1 and 10 terabytes
b. Between 10 and 100 terabytes
c. Between 100 and 1000 terabytes
ANSWERS:
1. In less than a second: According to a study by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), our brain takes much less than a second to process the images. We can process complete images in just 13 milliseconds.
2. Yes: New neurons are born in the brain every day. A study by the Karolinska Medical Institute (Sweden) designed a technique based on the measurement of carbon 14 to determine how many cells are generated per day in the human brain, discovering that every day about 1,400 new neurons are produced in our brain, and this rate goes decreasing as we get older.
3. Around 1400 grams: The human brain weighs 1,400 grams on average and 25% of the calories we consume each day are destined for it.
4. False: It is Vitamin B12 that is crucial in this regard. Thus, the lack of fish, meat, milk and eggs, which are the main sources of vitamin B12, can cause the brain to lose brain cells and develop cognitive problems.
5. Athletics and swimming: The most beneficial are athletic and swimming races, by increasing the heart's pumping and reducing the risk of dementia.
6 True: Eating a moderate amount of chocolate a week can improve cardiovascular health and prevent strokes in people 49 to 75 years of age.
7 Between 10 and 100 terabytes: It is complicated to make an estimate, but a team of experts in computational neuroscience has calculated that the maximum storage capacity of our thinking organ would be between 10 and 100 terabytes, although some take the figure to 2 , 5 petabytes.
