give me ten important findings about brain?

An apparatus with which we think what we think. That which distinguishes the man who is content to be something from the man who wishes to do something. A man of great wealth, or one who has been pitchforked into high station, has commonly such a headful of brain that his neighbors cannot keep their hats on. In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, brain is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.

The following nine are now well-recognized:\n- the equilibrioceptive (balance)\n- proprioceptive (movement)\n- nociceptive (sense of pain and wellness)\n- tactile (touch)\n- gustatory (taste)\n- olfactory (smell)\n- thermoceptive (warmth)\n- visual\n- auditory senses\n\nThere is no firm agreement among neurologists as to exactly how many senses there are, because of differing definitions of a sense.\n\nSchool children are routinely taught that there are five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste) though it is generally agreed that there are at least nine different senses in humans, and a minimum of two more observed in other organisms.

The brain is the organ responsible for thought and other functions.  The mind is the abstract concept that is the culmination of all thoughts, not a physical object.

a brain has a processing capacity of 100 trillion instructions per second...the number of internal thought pathways that your brain is capable of producing is:\n\none followed by 10.5 million kilometers of standard typewritten zero's!\n\nCurrent estimates of brain capacity range from 1 to 1000 terabytes!\n  \n"Robert Birge (Syracuse University) who studies the storage of data in\nproteins, estimated in 1996 that the memory capacity of the brain was\nbetween one and ten terabytes, with a most likely value of 3\nterabytes. Such estimates are generally based on counting neurons and\nassuming each neuron holds 1 bit. Bear in mind that the brain has\nbetter algorithms for compressing certain types of information than\ncomputers do."\nhttp://www.sizes.com/people/brain.htm

1. Food for thought - You are what you eat, and that includes your brain. So what is the ultimate mastermind diet?\n\n2. The Mozart effect - Music may tune up your thinking, but you can't just crank up the volume and expect to become a genius\n\n3. Gainful employment - Put your mind to work in the right way and it could repay you with an impressive bonus\n\n4. Memory marvels - Mind like a sieve? Don't worry. The difference between mere mortals and memory champs is more method than mental capacity\n\n5. Sleep on it - Never underestimate the power of a good night's rest\n\n6. Body and mind - Physical exercise can boost brain as well as brawn\n\n7. Nuns on a run - If you don't want senility to interfere with your old age, perhaps you should seek some sisterly guidance\n\n8. Attention seeking - You can be smart, well-read, creative and knowledgeable, but none of it is any use if your mind isn't on the job\n\n9. Positive feedback - Thought control is easier than you might imagine\n\n10. Bionic brains - If training and tricks seem too much like hard work, some technological short cuts can boost brain function\n\n11. Smart drugs - Does getting old have to mean worsening memory, slower reactions and fuzzy thinking?\n\n\n11 Steps to a Better Brain\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/channel/being-human/mg18625011.900

it's an argument that's as old as it is contentious: that male and female brains work differently.\n\nMichael Gurian, psychologist and author of "What Could He Be Thinking?" believes there are about a hundred structural differences that have been identified between the male and female brain.\n\n"Men, because we tend to compartmentalize our communication into a smaller part of the brain, we tend to be better at getting right to the issue," he said.\n\n"The more female brain (will) gather a lot of material, gather a lot of information, feel a lot, hear a lot, sense a lot," he said.\n\nScientists say males have more activity in mechanical centers of the brain, whereas females show more activity in verbal and emotional centers.\n\nThe differences can be noticed from early childhood, Gurian said, such as when an adult gives a child a doll.\n\n"That doll becomes life-like to that girl, but you give it to a two-year-old boy and you are more likely, not all the time, but you are more likely than not to see that boy try to take the head off the doll," he said.\n\n"He thinks spatial-mechanical. He's using the doll as an object".\n\nTo find out why these differences exist, scientists have taken voyages deep inside the gray matter using MRI scans.\n\nThe scans show that in most women, the corpus callosum area, which handles communication between the brain's two "hemispheres", is larger.\n\nIn layman's terms, it means that the two sides of the female brain "talk" better to each other -- which could explain why studies show women tend to multi-task better.\n\nOn the other hand, the scans show men tend to move information more easily within each hemisphere.\n\nIt all boils down to genes, according to Dr. Marianne Legato Partnership for Gender Specific Medicine Columbia University.\n\nWomen are born with two X chromosomes, and men with an X and a Y.\n\n"And on that Y chromosome are at least 21 unique genes unique to males which control many of the body's operations down to the level of the cells," Dr Legato said.\n\nShe also said those genetic differences explain other differences, like why men can drink more alcohol than women without becoming intoxicated.\n\n"Women do not have the enzyme in their stomach that degrades alcohol which men have," she said.\n\nUnfortunately it doesn't explain why some men leave the toilet seat up, or some women can't take out the garbage.
