EPISODE SUMMARY:

This episode will cover some brain facts that will enlighten you what an amazing and powerful physical organ our brain is.

Some of the facts covered may be better known than others, but all of them are well worth knowing – or at least being aware of..

The brain is occasionally compared to the CPU of a computer, which may be relevant as far as we look at the brain as the command and control centre of the body, and it comes with some incredible features and capabilities.

I titled the episode “Un-jargoned Brain Facts” as I was aiming to keep the number of “technical terms” low to make everything a bit easier to understand.
