The average adult human brain weighs approximately 1,300 - 1,400 grams and makes up about 2-3% of overall bodyweight. Average number of neurons in the brain = 100 billion! You lose an average of 85,000 brain cells per day! Number of synapses (interconnections between brain cells) = 0.15 quadrillion! 20% of total resting oxygen is used by the brain How the Brain Works The brain functions like a super-computer, taking in all the senses like touch, taste, vision, hearing, smell and balance through specialized nerves called receptors. This sensory information makes its way to the brain through the spinal cord. Once it enters the brain, there are certain 'association areas' that interpret the information and form a plan for expression (ie; move my hand, run away, speak, etc.). The brain is dependent on three things for survival: Fuel (Glucose) Oxygen Activation of its nerve cells. Without any one of these things, the brain cannot function at its full capacity. When an area of the brain experiences a loss of one of these basic needs, it either will not function properly or die. When a person presents to a doctor with neurological complaints, it is critical to determine if in fact there is permanent damage to a part of the nervous system OR if there is an area that is not functioning. Hemisphericity Hemisphericity or Brain Lateralization refers to a condition where one side of the brain is functioning less that the other, to a point that eventually creates physical signs and symptoms. Because each side of the brain controls different functions, Hemisphericity on each side will cause different problems. Hemisphericity is a common functional problem that can lead to many types of neurological as well as internal dysfunctions. Identifying Hemisphericity in our patients is a key part of our clinical workup.
