Despite decades of scientific study, the human brain remains one of the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in the natural world. In fact, the more we learn about the brain, the less we seem to know, and there are many researchers who think that we will never fully understand everything about our brains. In the meantime, here are eight of the strangest and most intriguing facts science has uncovered to date.........

1. The Average Brain Contains 100,000 Miles’ Worth of Axons
Axons are neurons that our brains use to conduct electrical impulses from one place to another. In you took all the axons out of a human brain and arranged them end-to-end, the resultant string would be long enough to encircle the Earth more than four times. Now that’s mind-blowing!
2. Your Brain Houses Enough Electricity to Power a Light Bulb
The electrical impulses that travel across neurons are the primary source of power in the human brain, but you may be surprised to learn just how much electricity is crackling around up there. At any given moment, your brain is firing with 25 watts of electrical energy — enough to keep a light bulb turned on.


3. The Average Brain Stores 1 Quadrillion Pieces of Information
The sum of the things you learn over the course of your life really adds up, but you may be surprised at just how much information the average mature brain stores. By the end of your lifetime, your brain will have around 1 quadrillion pieces of information stored. One quadrillion is a thousand billion, or a one followed by 15 zeroes.


4. Your Brain Uses 25 Percent of Your Body’s Oxygen and Energy
Even though the average brain accounts for only about 2 percent of body mass, it ties up a full one-quarter of your energy and oxygen intake. That’s because your brain is functioning on rapid-fire all the time, even when you’re sleeping. In fact, studies have shown that your brain experiences more activity when you’re asleep than it does when you’re awake.
