Two Truths and
a Lie Brain Game: AnswerSheet Copyright © 2015 James J. Goldsmith. Used withpermission. Our brains are gray in color. There isgray, but alsowhite,blackandred. Many of us are familiarwithseeingbrainsinaglassof formaldehyde,whichhasledtothismisconception. Formaldehyde tendstobleach andremove distinctionsinthe brain’scolor,creatinganoverall gray,orgray-greenhue. For more: http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/10-brain-myths1.htm The brain operateslike a computer. Notso much. The human brainisnot a hard drive witha finite capacity, humansdon’tnecessarily performcomputationssequentially,we activelyinterpretandfilterinput,ouritemsinstorage (memory) change or are deletedbasedonpersonal (andchanging) criteria orsothat we remainsane,etc. The neuronsinour brainenable ustodo thingsmore quicklyandefficientlythananymachine evermade;as was recentlyreported inthe article, evenatoddlerissmarterthanthe smartestAI. And computers have a longway to go before theycanmatch humanbrains. Peranotherarticle,“In2015, the 4th most powerful supercomputerinthe worldtook40 minutestosimulate justone secondof humanbrain activity.” For more: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/top-ten-myths-about-the-brain- 178357288/ We only use about 10% of our brain. The body hasevolvedtobe an efficientmechanism(ignoringthe Appendix,of course) andthe brain isa very importantorgan(using20% of the body’s oxygenandbloodeventhoughitisaccountsforonly2- 3% of the body’smass).

For more: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/top-ten-myths-about-the-brain- 178357288/ Man has the largest brain of any animal. Comparedtoa spermwhale’sbrain(about17 pounds),ourbrainsare tiny(about3 pounds). What’s differentisthatwe have a smallerbrain-to-bodyweightratio(about1-to-50) andgreaterbrainfolding than the whale andmostotheranimals.

Two Truths and
a Lie Brain Game: AnswerSheet Copyright © 2015 James J. Goldsmith. Used withpermission. Human brainsare the largest relative to their bodysize. The human brain-to-bodyweightratioisabout1-to-50. In comparison,some speciesof anthave a brain-to-bodyweightratio of about1-to-7, andthisis the highestknownforanyanimal. For vertebrates,the tree shrewhas aratio of about1-to-10, the hummingbird aratioof the 1-to-17 andthe elephantfisharatio of about1-to-34. So,thoughthe brain-to-bodyweightratioisafactor in determiningintelligence,otherfactors,suchas brain composition (especiallythe sizeof the cerebral cortex),howneuronsornerve cellsandsynapsesare organized andthe degree of molecularcomplexity at the synapticlevelneedalsotobe considered. Imean,couldanelephantfishwrite thisparagraph? For more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-to-body_mass_ratio Brain games make you smarter. There isno scientificevidence tosupportthis. Fromthe StanfordUniversityCenteronLongevityand the BerlinMax PlanckInstitute forHumanDevelopment: "The strongconsensus of thisgroupisthat the scientificliteraturedoesnotsupportclaims thatthe use of software-based‘braingames’ altersneural functioninginwaysthatimprove general cognitive performance ineverydaylife,orpreventcognitive slowingandbraindisease." For more: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brain-training-doesn-t-make-you-smarter/ The numberof wrinklesin your brain increase as you learn. The human brainevolvedtoinclude wrinkles(comprisedof ridgescalled gyri andcrevicescalled sulci) to increase itsoverall surface area andincrease itsefficacy. These wrinklesstopdevelopinginthe womb 40 weeksafterconception.

For more: http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/10-brain- myths1.htm#page=9 Intelligence isaninherited,unchangeable trait.
