Well we all have one 1200 gms of brain (appx). Try weighing it. ?.. That's a different thing that few have kidney beans Inside their skull.?? For those who think they have a tiny little brain. Let me share certain things with you.
  1. Our brain weighs appx 1200-1500 gms.
  2. It has a complex structure of neurons (nerve cells) with a lot of grey matter. Which is very essential to keep you working fine.
  3. There are around 100 billion neurons in our brain, which keeps our brain and body functioning by constantly transferring data 24x7 till we are alive.
  4. The data transfer is achieved by the exchange of electrical or chemical signals with the help of  synapses ( junction between two neurons).
  5. They exchange about 1000 trillion synaptic signals per second, which is equivalent to 1 trillion bit per second computer processor.
  6. The amount of energy generated with these synaptic signal exchange is enough to light a bulb of 5 volts.
  7. A human brain hence can also store upto 1000 terabytes of data.
  8. The information transfer happen with the help of the synaptic exchange.
  9. It takes 7 years to replace every single neuron in the brain. So we tend to forget the content after 7 years, since during the synaptic exchange there is a loss of energy, means loss of information. If we do not recall anything for 7 years then that information is completely erased from our memory.
  10. Similar to these neurons computer scientist build a complex Artificial neural network using the array of logic gates. The most preferred gates used are XOR gates.
  11. The best part about Artificial brain is that it can store and cannot forget like human brain and we can store much more information than an individual brain. Unfortunately that has a bigger side effect. Trust me "forgetting is better".  Certain things in our lives we should forget so we can move forward.  Imagine if you would have to live with every memory in life. Both negative and positive. Things will haunt you and you will start the journey of psychotic disorders.. ??
  Scary ? Isn't it !!   Comment to know more..
