Our brain is the most powerful organ in our body or so they say but there are more to it than our brain knows, you might be surprise at this revelation. We have gathered ten amazing facts your brain can do that you may not be aware of.
1. 
Our brain required a nonstop supply of oxygen. A ten minute loss of oxygen supply can result to a big brain damage. However, coldness can hold its time. You may have notice; there are numerous cases where people survived from drowning in cold water without harming the brain. Cold can lengthen this time up to 40 minutes.
2. 
Aside from oxygen, our brain uses a fifth of our blood. Our brain needs to maintain a heavy metabolic demands of its neuron which was delivered by glucose and oxygen
3. 
Our brain does not feel any pain. Our brains have no nerves within the brain itself for it to recognize pain. Because of this, neurosurgeons are able to probe the brain even if the patient is awake. Through this procedure, surgeons can use feedback to recognize the patients important regions such as visualization or those used for speech.
4. 
Cerebellum plays an important role to our brain. It is also known as the “little brain” for it weights roughly five ounces. It is located at the lower back side of the brain and it is responsible to keep up with our posture, to walk and other coordinated movements. It is also responsible for your sense of smell.
5. 
A human brain normally weighs a standard of a little over 3lbs. There is a correlation between the size of our body and our brain size. As odd as it may sound, Albert Einstein’s brain may be smaller than other regular human beings. Einstein has a shorter body frame compared to others.
6. 
Human has the largest brain among all other animals based on body size. Elephant’s brains are six times bigger than human, but if you will apply the body size, then their brain is as good as a cat’s brain.
7. 
Our brain consists of about 100,000 miles of blood vessels. It can go around the earth for more than four times if you stretch it out.
8. 
If you are one of those with average sized body with an average sized brain, then you have 100 billion neurons in your brain. Perhaps then you will be thrilled to learn about the next fact.
9. 
Our rain loses about 85 thousand of neocortical neurons in one day. Luckily, this remained unrecognized because of the built-in redundancies and, after three years of losing neurons, it will add up to less than one of the totality.
10. 
This is probably the most interesting and encouraging fact about our brain. According to recent studies, our brain does not stop producing neurons all throughout your life. They have also proven that it also response to stimulation by doing brainpower exercises.
