7 Facts About Human Brain

       The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses.

Here are 7 Facts About Human Brain :
1. The brain is the center of the human nervous system, controlling our thoughts, movements, memories and decisions.
2. The brain contains billions of nerve cells that send and receive information around the body.
3. The human brain is over three times as big as the brain of other mammals that are of similar body size.
4. The largest part of the human brain is called the cerebrum. Other important parts include corpus callosum, cerebral cortex, thalamus, cerebellum, hypothalamus, hippocampus and brain stem.
5. The human brain is protected by the skull (cranium), a protective casing made up of 22 bones that are joined together.
6. The brain of an adult human weighs around 3 pounds (1.5 kg). Although it makes up just 2% of the body's weight, it uses around 20% of its energy.
7. The brain is suspended in Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), effectively floating in liquid that acts as both a cushion to physical impact and a barrier to infections.
