Energy Consumption: The brain consumes largest portion of total energy generated by the human body. To be precise, it consumes 20 percent of energy for maintaining nerve impulses and healthy brain cells.
100 Billion Neurons: The human brain has approximately 100 billion of neurons that is almost 15 times of total human population. The higher number of neurons increases the ability of brain processing.
Fattest Organ: The human brain is the fattest organ among all other organs in the human body. About 60 percent of the brain is comprised of fat. This amount of fat makes the brain as a single organ to have highest concentration of fat in a healthy human body.
Neocortex: Human brain has a special gift compared to animals. The neocortex is a portion through which human beings are responsible for consciousness and language. It approximately makes up to 76 percent of the human brain.

Multiply of Neurons: In many studies, neurons of human brain of a pregnant women multiplies at a rate of 250,000 neurons per minute.
Cardiac Output: The human brain consumes about 15 to 20 percent of blood. Approx. 750 ml of total cardiac output is directed to the brain every minute.
Brain can Light Bulb: The human brain that consumes energy is approximately 25 watts and is sufficient enough to light a bulb.
Brain can Fool You: The human brain is not perfect as you think. It has been found to fool human being by perceiving things differently from the reality.
