Brain is the most mysterious organ in the human body. But here are some astonishing facts that you didn’t know about–
1) 210 is the highest IQ recorded till date : Born in March 1972, Kim Ung-Yong has the highest IQ ever recorded by man. He could grasp algebra at the age of 8 months, and was fluent in 4 languages. He was already in the University at the age of 4. He is not only good in analysis but is also a painter and a poet. He graduated from the University at the age of 15.
2) Lucid dreams are actually quite real : So was the movie Inception talking sense? Apparently so. It turns out that in lucid dreams one can actually control the outcomes, just like in the movie Inception.
3) Brain is actually more active when we are sleeping : Contrary to what most people believe, the brain is actually working more when we are asleep.
4) Einstein’s brain was well preserved : Einstein died in the year 1955, but his brain was preserved for research. But later it suddenly disappeared. Apparently someone had stolen it, and when it was found it was actually in 240 pieces.
5) The brain is said to have miles and miles of veins : Not only that, but it has so many blood vessels which could actually cover up the earth four times. It is made up of more than a hundred million neurons which could fill up our entire galaxy. But it still works with only 20% oxygen intake and covers only 2% of our body.
6) Brain feels no pain : This is actually true. The brain does not have any pain receptors which are why it is absolutely possible to operate on someone without giving them anesthetics.
7) Right or Left? : We all know that the brain has two parts: left and right working together but they are different in characteristics. The right brain is associated with creative thinking while the left part is associated with analytical thinking. The strange thing however is that the left part of the brain controls the right part and vice versa.
8) Man’s mind or woman’s? : As it turns out the male brain is actually larger in size. But the woman’s brain has more nerve cells in it, making a woman more effective in thinking than a man.
9) Does larger brain size mean more intelligence? : This is a much talked about topic in which researchers take interest. Does a larger brain indicate higher IQ or not? But to point out an exception, Albert Einstein’s brain was smaller than the average brain. Some people however believe that the size of the brain matters when it comes to intelligence.
10) To laugh or not to laugh? : Are human beings the only species that laugh? What causes us to laugh is a real mystery indeed. True laughter it is said is contagious, and there can be millions of reasons that cause it.
