This time my blog will be on one of the myths found in the present work and Dr. Pedro Maldonado about the brain on Tuesday just past, where the myth is: "But I read somewhere that we only use 10% of our brain anyway."
Well, I think this myth is totally false, since people need to use more than 10% of his brain to find some situation, for example when a singer has to give his concert before the audience, you must activate several places your brain, because the singer has to look at people, also need to remember the song memorized, you listen and has to speak, so while parts of his brain must be working, and if only work a 10% of his brain would not be possible. As described by Dr. Maldonado this would have been seen with imaging techniques, where several brain regions would be linked together for understanding and production for example of language so that a situation would trigger a specific area of the brain, but also trigger secondary regions to be understood as a whole.
As stated by Dr. Maldonado is said that each neuron is surrounded by about ten glial cells, which explains the myth, however it has been determined that these cells are those that give nutrition, stability and protection neurons, therefore, in my opinion, despite the fact that neurons occupy a smaller proportion of the brain that glia, the two are complementary. Since neurons without glial cells could not function or fulfill the function of producing nerve impulses that carry information and connect the different parts of the brain.

Hiya JoaN:
ResponderEliminarI think it would be very inefficient and expensive to maintein 90% of a tissue that consumes an enormous lot of glucose and do nothing.
jajaj! you are right Philip!
ResponderEliminar... the paper said: evolution would not have allowed the development of an organ of which 90% is useless, being it such spendthrift.
Joan... I choose the same myth! This convinced me!
Kiss!
Hi! :D
ResponderEliminarThis topic is definitely interesting
Dr Maldonado know much about this subject!
I really thought we were number 10% of our capacity.
it's good to know that is not true!
bye!! see you!
