Fun Fact: Your brain produces 70,000 thoughts a day

That is around 2,900 thoughts per hour. It could also store up to 2.5 petabytes of information, which is equivalent to around 3 million hours of TV shows or 1 million high-resolution photos.

The brain can generate up to 23 watts of energy, enough to power a light bulb. Despite making up only 2% of your body weight, the brain consumes around 20% of the body's energy.

 

The brain contains approximately 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers) of blood vessels, which supply it with nutrients and oxygen. Each neuron can have up to 10,000 connections to other neurons, resulting in as many as 1,000 trillion connections in the brain. The brain contains around 100 billion neurons and weighs approximately 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms). The amygdala, which is the part of the brain responsible for emotions, can process information in just 20 milliseconds, which is faster than the time it takes for us to consciously perceive something.
