Believe it or not, there are some brain facts that your brain does NOT know about.
Here are 10 of them (they're actually interesting).
1.sYawning is a natural way to cool your brain when your body's external temperature is lower than its internal temperature.
2. Your brain can distinguish between a genuine smile and a fake one. This is due to certain facial muscles that operate beyond your conscious control.
3. Contrary to popular belief, the brain cannot truly multitask. Instead, it rapidly shifts focus between tasks, creating the illusion of handling multiple things at once.
4. Ever wondered why the world doesn’t go dark when you blink? It’s because your brain overlooks the blink, allowing you to maintain a continuous view of your surroundings.
5. Did you know that you are four times more likely to marry someone who shares your last name? This tendency stems from our brains’ preference for familiarity, which is quite fascinating.
6. You’re more inclined to leave a larger tip for a server who touches your arm, as your brain associates that gesture with a sense of friendship.
7. Your brain tends to link more elaborate words and descriptions with higher quality. As a result, you’re often willing to pay more for products with fancy labels, like preferring Himalayan Babylonian grey sea salt and organic apple cider vinegar chips over regular salt and vinegar chips.
8. Have you ever thought about why you can’t tickle yourself? The reason is because your cerebellum is familiar with your own touch so it signals the rest of your brain to ignore the sensation.
9. After reaching the age of 25, your brain gradually begins to shrink, with some studies indicating that this process occurs more rapidly in males than in females.
10. Your brain is so soft that it could easily be spread on toast.
