Brain Notes

The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb even while you are sleeping.  In fact, the brain is much more active at night than during the day. Get some sleep; your brain needs it to process the day.

Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour.  Neurons continue to grow throughout human life.  Information travels at different speeds within different types of neurons. Stupid, useless information seems to travel faster than smart, useful information. But I can’t prove it.

The brain weighs about 3 pounds, which is roughly the size of a small bowling ball. Most brains do more than most bowling balls. That’s comforting.

And that’s Aging Intelligently.
