Do You Only Use 10% Of Your Brain?

The video debunks the myth that humans only use 10% of their brains, explaining that we use most of our brain, but not all at once. It discusses the roles of neurons and glia, and how the brain prunes unused connections during development. Neurons communicate through coordinated firing, and excessive activity can cause seizures. The video emphasizes that all brain regions are used for various functions, including processing senses and emotions. It concludes by encouraging viewers to appreciate their full brain capacity.
