The Bulging Brain !

To hear some scientists talk, you might think scientists know everything, but actually they don't. There are lots of mysteries left to solve, lots of things we don't know or don't understand. For example, there's one object that is so mysterious and makes the most intelligent scientists scratch their heads. It's their own BRAIN. Scientists aren't completely sure how it works !

But if scientists are puzzled by their own little grey cells, what chance do rest of us have? No wonder learning about your own brain can give you a head ache ! But help is at hand, I would take you through a series and unfold the folds of our BULGING BRAIN with some interesting facts and questions and make an attempt to quench your thirst of knowledge with the help of my research on this mind boggling object!

The brain is the part of your body that tells you what's going on around you. Your eyes scan the letters, your brain makes sense of the words and your memory reminds you what they mean. Without your brain, you would be dead as a Dodo's tombstone, so it's good to know you have your very own bulging brain right now between your ears...hopefully!

As a first step we would begin with some facts and a quiz and then continue as I share some facts and figures about the BULGING BRAIN in the series to come...!!!

BET YOU NEVER KNEW...!!

 (In this part we will discuss some amazing facts about our Bulging Brain)

Your brain weighs less than 1.3 kg- that's a little less than the total weight of all the germs swarming in your intestine. In fact, it is only one-fifteenth of your total weight and far lighter than your guts, blood, skin or bones!
