The brain???

Question

ok now the human braaain. some people know that we can only use around 10% of our brain geniuses around 15%. why cant we use any more of brains? if we did then would we need a body? why is there a left brain and right brain why are they seperated not together? and what happen to insane or mentally challened people: can they use more percentage of their brains than any one else or more less resulting in the their behaviour?

Answer 1

Your brain controls the involuntary functions of your body . It is also the image center for your eyes and ears . It contains your emotional center . There is your vocal functions also . The learning and reasoning ability is there . Then their is the self part . An through in the memory . There is quite a lot of activity the brain is responsible for . An the brain is able to reroute functions from areas that have been damaged too.

Answer 2

Human brain is unbelievably astonishing piece of organic evolution with highest order of Consciousness among all life forms and the first and foremost difference that makes us Human is the mass of brain to our body mass, which is wonderfully a cool ten percent and more! An elephant has less percent of brain to body mass !

The brain is a terrible organic order of live part of us and it is constantly working right from the day it formed in the mother's womb and stops only to bring the ultimate death! Yes, when the heart stops the blood supply to our brain for just one minute the DISORDER IS SET IN MOTION and the organic order gets collapsed to IRREVERSIBLE LEVEL to bring death to life!

In its functioning for normal human, it has several compartments working simultaneously on thinking, smelling, sensing etc and commanding our body and mind for action!

I don't know where from you got that 15 % of our brain only works and other areas does not! In fact we use our brain with all its limitations which are knowledge based and vary between people of different nature like education level etc.

The thinking and working of the brain is same to all but the kind of intelligence and action does vary to each one of us.

The way brain works and controls is a vast subject and cannot be answered here in short terms! As far mentally challenged people, certainly there are disorder in their built up of brain and they cannot do any activity better than normal human being!

Answer 3

This is what I've heard, but don't rely on it. It's said that people use all part of the brains, but the saying that people use 10% of the brains came from an inspirational speaker. What he means is that people are very lazy, and stupid; that's why he said people only use 10-10% of the brain. He want people to get out off their lazy A$$, and work harder. Now, I'm no neurologist. That's all I got.

Answer 4

The human brain is an interesting mystery.

We can't use much more of our brain because most of it consists of protective tissue.

We need a body because the brain cannot survive on its own- the heart pumps blood for circulation, the muscles and nerves are necessary as well.

Nobody knows a lot about the brain structure of the mentally challenged as it's more or less taboo to work with human subjects or guinea pigs, however, it's purported that those with autism have larger amygdalas, if that helps.

Answer 5

Thats a myth, people use 100% of their brain, not all of them at the same time.

Answer 6

I think actually 100% of our brain is active but that only 10-15% are reflective activities.
