Welcome to The Brain Event

The human brain is the most complex and amazing organ in the body. Our quality of life is directly dependent on the health of our brain. Have you taken good care of your brain today?

We really enjoy researching the latest information about brain health and provide here an eclectic collection of facts, links, articles, and materials to help you keep your brain in shape. We've just recently gotten started, so check back often.

The brain is a supercomputer. It is made up almost entirely of nerve cells, or neurons - about 100 billion of them, that is! Millions of electrical impulses run through the brain each moment as the brain is constantly interacting with the environment and other body organs.
To meet the demands of these numerous and very busy neurons, about 20% of the blood flowing from the heart goes to the brain..
The human brain weighs about 3 pounds and is physically composed of about 60% fat. As a result, dietary fats are crucial to brain function. (See the Healthy Brain link).
Like muscles, the brain must be exercised and constantly challenged or it will gradually waste away. Unlike previous scientific thought, it is now known that our brains can make new neurons! (See the Puzzles link).
