The Power and Complexity of the Brain

Your brain uses the same amount of energy as a 20-watt light bulb but processes information faster

than any supercomputer. While you're sleeping, your brain is actually more active than when you're awake,

consolidating memories and clearing out toxins. The most incredible part is that despite

weighing only three pounds, your brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons,

each connecting to thousands of others, creating more possible neural connections

than there are stars in the observable universe.
