Brain: A Beautiful Journey”

is a timeless treasure
·
It took 8
billion years for human brain to develop.
·
There are 100 billion
brain cells.
·
It is not easy to visually differentiate monkey any
human brains ; the predominant difference is the larger prefrontal cortex of
human brain.
·
Human brain weighs
1500 gram or 3% of total body weight
and consumes 20% of energy.
·
Prefrontal cortex
is the youngest and the most
brilliant brain region that governs human behavior.
·
Psychiatric problems
emerge only when prefrontal
cortex is dysfunctional.
·
Human brain may live
thousands of years with adequate nutritional energy supplies.
·
Every soccer headshot
or a single boxing punch kill 10,000 brain cells and produce
poisonous free radicals.
·
Prefrontal cortex
is the youngest and the most
brilliant brain region that governs human behavior.
·
Prefrontal cortex
makes it possible for humans to engage
in sexual relations .In the
jungle rape is the standard method of
copulation.
·
Einstein’s brain
was of average weight, had significantly
greater brain surface because of
multiple cortical folds. His motor homunculus showed prominence of left thumb
and three fingers associated with his violin
play.
·
London cab drivers
have larger hippocampuses because of their heavy reliance
on memory.
·
Intense cardiovascular
exercise makes brain grow
and expand at any age.
·
Endorphins ( brains natural morphine)
and morphine like substances are neuro
protectors; they promote brain
growth and combat degeneration.
·
Head traumas , alcohol tobacco cocaine
psychedelics LSD PCP accelerate brain
degeneration.
·
Stress depression worry chronic pain cause brain damage and premature brain death.
·
Today it’s possible
to be 120 without Alzheimers.
·
In universe all things
degenerate because of oxidation.
Brain degeneration would accelerate by
higher temperatures and acidity, greater formation of free radicals and slow
down by cool temperatures more alkaline environment and anti oxidants.
·
Low body
temperature, low insulin level and high DHEA are biological markers for
longevity.
·
99% of premature dementias and Alzheimer’s are not
genetic and preventable.
