“The more you use your brain, the more brain you will have to use.” Comment.
I agree to this statement to a large extend. Wiki explains one of the common misconceptions about the brain, Einstein is reported as quipping that people typically only use 10 of their brains. The popular press took this as fact, although the comment was meant only facetiously. Generally, if we think about it, from young to now for instance, we’ve being through education since nursery times. We acquired vast amount of knowledge throughout the growing up years. Thus it is only logical and right to argue that we have use a great measure of our brain to think, learn, understand and remember (memory). I would love to use an analogy of a hard disk. The purpose of a hard disk is to store information for safekeeping in-case something terrible happens to our laptop. It’s something like the brain, the more we use the hard disk to store data, the more hard disk space we will need to use to store these data.
This was my first neurobiology class RJ question. What _._._ _._._! Well, it took me like the whole train journey from the east to my house just to think how do write this RJ! Anyway! it feels sucky right? the RJ!
