Status Updates From Brain Facts: A Primer on th...

The human brain grows an excess of neurons, eliminates the extra cells early in life (synaptic pruning). Only the connections you need are kept. Unused neurons later in life can make neural connections weaken (it’s more complicated) so it’s important to keep up with physical and mental exercise. (Why I enjoy reading a variety of topics and try to bring variation to physical exercise)

Restarting this because I’m gonna add random facts as I go.
a human brain contains roughly 86 billion nerve cells/neurons, and we use all of them
an estimated 1 in 4 people worldwide will face a neurological or psychiatric condition I wonder if that includes mild cases. At what point does anxiety count, etc? It’s a normal human emotion, but many are labeled as having a disorder. I have my doubts.

fascinating, also kind of morbid that they basically don't...know anything? Although i do suppose this is just a general intro, and neuroscience only had a short history from plucking yo'r lobes, but still.

oh my God i started this way too late *clown*
