Detailed explanation-1: -No medical evidence supports the theory that we use only a small portion of our brains. One plausible explanation for the continuation of this unfounded assumption could be that scientists still only have an incomplete understanding of the human brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Get at least 20 minutes of aerobic activity every day. Getting your blood flowing actually gets your brain flowing. After 20 minutes (or more) of exercise you will boost your memory, information processing and neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to create new connections between cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a number, a “petabyte” means 1024 terabytes or a million gigabytes, so the average adult human brain has the ability to store the equivalent of 2.5 million gigabytes digital memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lorber had subjected his patients to CAT scans and found that while most of them were mentally impaired, some, even when their brain filled no more than 5% of the cranial cavity led normal lives.
