The brain does not feel pain

Although your brain is the main tool that the body uses to detect and react to pain, but in itself does not have pain receptors. This is why doctors performed brain surgery on a patient in a state of alertness. This helps them avoid critical areas causing brain damage.

When awake, the brain generate enough electricity to power a light bulb low

The brain contains about 90 billion nerve cells, continuous operation. When all the nerve cells together can generate enough power for a light bulb.

Brain more powerful supercomputers

If the human brain is a computer, it can perform billions of calculations per second 38,000 and approximately 3,584 terabytes of storage memory. Meanwhile, one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world - BlueGene - have the ability to calculate 92,000 billion operations per second and only 8 terabytes of storage.

Divide the left brain / right still unknown

There are many concepts that are often left brain dominant people develop the ability to analyze and logically; right brain dominant people are likely to develop creativity and art. However, this claim has no basis. In fact, all activities are required connectivity between all regions brain.

Nerve cells transmit information to the brain at the speed of 241 km / h

When you touch a hot object, the nerve cells in the skin feeling transmit information to the brain and spinal cord at speeds over 241 km / h. Upon receiving the information, the brain transmits information back through motor nerve cells, to your hand to pull it away from hot objects. Motor neurons transmit information at speeds of over 322 km per hour.
