Research suggests that the human brain is more powerful than previously thought.

Scientists have been studying the human brain for decades , in an effort to understand how the brain can do what it does . Scientists have made ​​a very interesting discovery , suggesting that the human brain is more powerful than previously believed . The image you see below may look like decoration of the new year , but in fact is a computer image of the pyramids of neurons in the cerebral cortex .

These microscopic branches of brain cells were thought to act as brain wiring . However , researchers now believe that these branches can actually behave like computers . The human brain has about 100 billion neurons with approximately 1 quadrillion connections, known as synapses that connect neurons together.

Previous studies have revealed that most of the supporting electrical molecules that generate electricity in neurons , were also present at the ramifications . Experiments have found that the brain tissue ramifications may use these molecules to generate energy
