Second, among the one trillion brain cells, 100 billion brain cells have memory and storage functions.
The information storage capacity of this 1000 billion cell is equivalent to that of a Pentium IV computer with 40G hard disk capacity. If you know computers, you will understand that this is an astronomical figure. It will take 200 years for a Pentium IV computer with a 40G hard disk to fill all its space and continuously type 200 words per minute! And there are 1000 billion such computers in your brain! According to many scientists, this number is incalculable and too large!
The memory of the brain is memorized through total analysis. Each cell only remembers a certain information, and the brain will classify it. I read about 20 books on brain science. Brain science is the most advanced part of physiology now. It tells us that the brain is the only organ that can develop and grow for life. When you 18 years old, it will be basically finished, and the cells in your brain will not increase any more. At the age of 25, all organs will stop developing and basically follow the behavior of mature people. Brain cells are the only organs in the human body, which are connected with the Internet through learning and thinking. One cell can connect about 654.38+0.5 million cells. If you have studied advanced mathematics in university, you can know that each of these 65.438+0.5 billion cells has 65.438+0.5 billion kinds of possible access to the Internet. This figure can hardly be explained. In fact, as long as we think and learn to use our brains, brain cells will produce new network connections. The brain is a microcosm of the internet, or the internet currently used by the earth is the externalization of a person using the brain. If a person's brain is compared to the earth, the connection of neocortex on its surface constitutes the internet on the earth at present. The Internet is developing every day. In fact, every cell in the brain is equivalent to a computer, and then connected with other cells. Brain cells no longer grow, but the network can grow for life!
If you know the frontier of brain science, you will sigh the incredible brain! Those great scientists exclaimed: there is no bigger secret in the universe than the human brain! At present, according to the degree of human enlightenment, our understanding of the brain is still at the shallow level of primary school students. All our methods of affecting the brain are indirect methods, and we haven't found a direct way to affect the brain. The brain is amazing! In this sense, the storage capacity of the brain is infinite. Therefore, it turns out that the estimation of British scientists is conservative. The space of an ordinary person's brain is 1/3, which is equivalent to filling a room as big as 200 football fields with books! This was calculated by British scientists in the 1990s. According to research, the storage capacity of the human brain is far more than this.
Third, the creativity of the brain is infinite.
Creativity is an ability that needs training. Now, many friends can drive. Let's think about friends who can't drive. Are you capable of learning to drive? Anyone can drive as long as they are trained! If I train everyone, I can get on the road in a week 100%, no problem! The creativity of human brain is an ability and a driving skill. If we can understand the working mode of the brain today, this kind of creativity is the special working procedure of the brain. After training, anyone can be creative, and anyone can create what they want! In fact, if the brain doesn't understand its own running program, it is like a computer without an operating system, and it doesn't know how to start it at all. This is the life state of ordinary people. So we say that the creativity of the human brain is infinite.
Understanding of the brain. What is understanding? Connecting a thing with what you already know and finding out why it is like this is called understanding. Then, this sentence implies that you can understand everything as long as your background knowledge is large enough. What does it mean to say that one thing is incomprehensible? It means that your background knowledge is not enough. In this sense, knowledge can be learned at any time. As long as you have enough knowledge, you can understand everything. There are three basic aspects of human intelligence: memory, creativity and understanding. In these three aspects, any one of us is almost infinite. Therefore, human potential is infinite, which mainly means that the potential of the brain is infinite. Then, we want to tell you that a person who has used his brain all his life will never develop more than 10%. It was once thought that Einstein's brain development did not exceed 25%. Modern brain science research believes that he certainly didn't reach that level.
Function of the brain
For many years, the human brain has been an important field that scientists have been studying unremittingly. According to the latest research, the main function of the brain is to analyze and generate samples, which can light up the thalamus and produce consciousness. At present, brain scientists realize that the human brain still has a lot of potential to tap. It is reported that not long ago, Dr. Bruce Miller of the University of California successfully discovered the "genius button" in the human brain. Miller studied 72 patients with brain injuries of various reasons in his own laboratory and found a rule-once a person has been injured under the right temporal lobe, he may become a genius in a certain field. For example, a 9-year-old boy became a talented mechanic after a partial brain injury; Another 56-year-old engineer became a great painter after some neurons in the right hemisphere were damaged by illness. Dr. Miller believes that this is because the talent that has been suppressed for a lifetime in the "genius area" of the brain is released after the death of damaged neurons.
Research and exploration of the brain
Now, many scientists are concerned about whether the oppressed and neglected "genius button" in human brain can be activated by artificial means. In other words, an ordinary person has been turned into a genius by artificial means. In this regard, Dr. Miller also said that he has the ability to completely change a person's way of thinking and even change his personality and beliefs with the help of a scalpel and one or two neurosurgical instruments.
Scientists at Flinders University in Australia believe that cutting off some parts of the human brain with the help of magnetic fields can fully activate those super mathematical and artistic talents. Not long ago, Australian scientists conducted experiments on 17 volunteers, and the results proved this. The researchers magnetically stimulated the whole brain of volunteers and disconnected the relevant parts of their cerebral cortex for a few seconds, and achieved amazing results. Five people can quickly figure out the day of the week, six people can draw the horse's head by memory, and the rest can easily remember several mailing addresses. These experiments have shaken people's previous belief that genius comes from diligence. To some extent, a person's extraordinary talent is innate, and the key lies in how to find and start these "genius buttons". As long as human beings know more details about the operation of brain neurons and master more advanced medical technology, they will surely turn ordinary people into geniuses.
Russian neurophysiologists who specialize in brain science also have their own views on the "genius button" in the human brain. They think there is a "switch" in the brain. Medvedev, director of Moscow Brain Research Institute, further confirmed Miller's conclusion. He believes that neurons called "error detectors" exist. They are a kind of "prevention mechanism" in the brain, which has a certain function of inhibiting genius and preventing people's daily behavior from deviating from the routine. Whenever a new idea appears in people's minds, the "error detector" goes into a state of "this is not allowed", which makes people feel that the idea is not very interesting and loses interest. However, if there is something wrong with this restriction mechanism, or it is destroyed by the outside world, those extraordinary ideas and genius theories will continue to emerge, and this person will become a genius, but he will also take great risks. Many experts believe that the brains of most geniuses are "liberated" only because they have problems.
Scientific application of the brain
The brain is the organ that consumes the most oxygen in the whole body, accounting for a quarter of the total oxygen consumption of the human body, so sufficient oxygen helps to improve the working efficiency of the brain and maintain a high degree of attention. When using your brain, you need to pay special attention to the air quality in your study and work environment.
More than 80% of the brain is composed of water, and all the information obtained by the brain is transmitted in the form of current through cells, and water is the main medium for current transmission. Therefore, drinking a glass or two of water before reading a book or doing homework is helpful for brain operation.
Listening to soothing music is very beneficial to the metabolism of brain nerve cells; Chatting with friends or strangers can also promote brain development and exercise brain function; Read more books and newspapers, not to amuse yourself with books, but to enrich your brain; Observe the things around you, and pay attention to store the information in your brain in time, then remember it and activate your thinking.
Health food: According to relevant research, there are eight substances that play an important role in brain growth and development: fat, calcium, vitamin C, sugar, protein, B vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin E. Therefore, foods rich in these eight substances can be regarded as brain-nourishing foods. The most prominent of these foods are:
1. Walnut. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can improve the structure of the brain, so that people have good brain power. So people regard it as the first choice of brain-nourishing food.
2. Animal viscera. Animal viscera is not only rich in nutrition, but also has a brain-nourishing effect much better than animal meat itself. Because animal viscera contains more unsaturated fatty acids than meat.
3. Brown Sugar Brown sugar contains the highest calcium among sugars, and also contains a small amount of B vitamins, which is beneficial to the development of the brain.
There are also some foods such as bean sprouts, fish and shrimp, seaweed, honey, beans, etc., which are also very good brain food.
Eating brain-nourishing food often can make you smarter. These foods mainly include: fish head, pig liver, pig brain, lean pork, beef, chicken, duck, bone marrow, sea cucumber and so on.
As we all know, eating more fish heads can make children smarter. This is because the fish head contains protein, amino acids, vitamins and a large number of trace elements, which has a good effect on nourishing the five internal organs, strengthening the brain and improving intelligence. Pig liver has the effects of enriching blood, nourishing liver and strengthening brain. Pig brain has the effect of strengthening brain and stopping dizziness.
Lean pork has the function of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Beef has the functions of strengthening the spleen, stomach and brain. Chicken can warm the middle warmer, replenish qi and strengthen the brain. Duck meat has the functions of nourishing yin and stomach, promoting diuresis to reduce swelling and strengthening brain. Bone marrow can tonify kidney, strengthen bone and strengthen brain marrow. Sea cucumber contains crude protein, fat, calcium and other ingredients, which has the effects of tonifying kidney, replenishing essence and strengthening brain. The correct rest method: brain health care, always thinking about preventing aging.

The brain is the most sophisticated organ of human thinking. The best way to maintain health is to strengthen the brain first, and to prevent the decline of brain function is to use the brain frequently. Those who are lazy to use their brains, over time, their brain function will decline.
"Use in and waste out" is a universal law of nature. Practice has proved that the more people use the brain, the more connections between various nerve cells in the brain, and the more conditioned reflexes are formed. Sima Qian, a famous historian in ancient times, once said: "If the spirit is not used, it will be abolished. If you use it, you will vibrate, and if you vibrate, you will be born. " Gao Minglian also pointed out in the book "Eight Records of Respect for Life": "If God does not transport, he will be stupid, and if blood does not transport, he will be ill." It means that the brain often becomes stupid when it is not used, and the blood vessels will get sick if they don't work or run poorly. Medical research has proved that hard work and active creation can stimulate the regeneration of brain cells and restore the vitality of the brain, which is an effective way to delay human aging. However, don't overuse your brain, pay attention to rational use of your brain and keep the law of life!
Some people think that you should not continue to use your brain in any of the following situations: (1) dizziness, hearing loss, and fever in your ear shell; (2) Limb weakness, yawning, drowsiness or lethargy; (3) inattention and memory loss; (4) Not quick thinking and slow response; (5) loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting; (6) personality changes, such as irritability, depression and depression; (7) When reading a book, I read for a long time, but I didn't understand the meaning; (8) When writing an article, the rate of missing words and repetition increases.
These are all manifestations of excessive use of the brain. In this case, people can close their eyes or look to the future, take dozens of deep breaths or take a walk outdoors for a while. In addition, people who often use their brains, after studying and working, should often take brain-strengthening dietotherapy remedies, such as taking walnut kernel100g, longan meat 500g and honey 2000g, mashing the first two flavors, mixing them with honey and sealing them, taking 30g each time twice a day, which can nourish the brain and replenish blood. You can also take 50 grams of tremella and 50 grams of Eucommia ulmoides. And 250 grams of rock sugar. First, decoct Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. Three times, take the juice to remove the residue, cook the tremella until it is cooked, and then add the rock sugar. Take it twice a day to refresh your mind.
Weird research conclusion:
Listening to music to improve IQ and prevent dementia Scientists have recently discovered that music can not only promote the thinking ability of the brain, but also improve people's IQ and maintain the neurological function of the brain. The researchers explained that listening to music can promote the growth of the brain, and the area in the brain responsible for information processing and reaction will become more developed, so music has a permanent promotion effect on the brain.
Stretching can promote memory. Previously, scientists found that stretching can relieve mental illness such as depression. Based on this achievement, medical scientists further found that stretching can also promote memory. There are two reasons why stretching can promote memory: first, stretching can help the brain decompose and release a substance that will destroy the "memory center" of the brain-"cortisol"; The second reason is that stretching can slow down the metabolism in the forehead area of the brain, which means that the working efficiency of the brain can be improved.
Sleeping in a big bed makes men smarter. Psychologists at the University of Vienna in Austria say that the narrower the sleeping environment, the more a hormone called "inhibin" is secreted by men's brains, while women are less affected by this. Scientists have analyzed that due to evolution and social status, men are more picky about sleeping environment and bed partners than women, and their brain thinking ability is more easily affected. For men, sleeping in a big bed or avoiding sharing a bed with others is more conducive to inhibiting and dissolving the secretion of inhibin.
The brain can't rest much. Biologists at the University of California, USA, found that although people engaged in mental labor consume a lot of brain cells in their work, there is not much difference from people engaged in simple manual labor in terms of the overall number of brain cells. This is because the newly born brain cells in the brain will decline rapidly if they are not used immediately, that is to say, the life span of "static" brain cells is much shorter than that of brain cells used for thinking activities. Scientists point out that the "rest" of the brain depends on adequate sleep and nutritional supplements, and it is not appropriate to "strengthen the brain" by "avoiding the brain".
