#17: Brain Facts
This disproven fact might come as a surprise because you might still think it’s true! It’s a common myth that we only use about 10% of our brains at any given time. This false fact is usually presented with the idea that we’re not reaching our full potential. However, there’s absolutely no evidence that the “10%” fact is true.
Neurologists would argue that we use 100% of our brains. Evolution does not support wastefulness. Humans wouldn’t have developed an organ that uses up resources but doesn’t contribute anything to the living organism. Although we don’t know everything there is to know about the brain, there is no doubt that every aspect of this organ has a purpose.
