55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: Humans only use 10 percent of our brains

‘This is categorically false. We use the majority of our brains the majority of the time. For instance, a simple task like getting a glass of water requires neuronal activity from at least five distinct areas of the brain to signal thirst, coordinate the movements, signal satiety, and keep us upright throughout.

If such a simple task requires this much effort and coordination, one can imagine how much more brain power quantum mechanics requires. Therefore, we use the majority of our brains for most tasks- simple or involved.’ – Abhishiek Sharma, MD, a neurosurgeon practicing in Scottsdale, AZ
