Interesting Facts about Human Brain

◖The brain of a human carries nearly one hundred billion neurons.

◖An adult brain weighs about 3 pounds.

◖Your brain consumes 20 percent of the oxygen and blood in your body.
◖The human brain gets to be smaller as we get older. This happens after the middle age.

◖About 75 percent of the brain, is manufactured with water. This means that dehydration, even in small amounts, harms the brain functions.

◖Headaches are triggered by a chemical reaction in your brain, communal with the muscles and nerves of your neck and head.

◖Dreams are supposed to be a mixture of imagination, psychological factors, and neurological factors. They prove that your brain is at work even when you are sleeping.

◖Your brain isn’t fully formed until age 25. Brain development begins from the back of the brain and works its way to the front. Therefore, your frontal lobes, which control planning and reasoning, are the last to strengthen the structure connections.

◖Computer or video games may assist to boost cognitive abilities.

◖Your brain is bored easily. Research has found that every 10 minutes you need something that sparks you emotionally to hit the reset button on your attention. If that 10-minute number sounds long, it’s because the human attention span (how long you can pay attention to a single thing) continues to shrink.

The human brain, weighing about 3 pounds and made up of nearly 100 billion neurons, is a highly complex organ that consumes around 20% of the body’s oxygen and blood. Composed of about 75% water, it is sensitive to dehydration, which can impair its functions. Brain development continues until around age 25, with the frontal lobes—the center for planning and reasoning—maturing last. Over time, especially after middle age, the brain gradually shrinks. Despite resting states like sleep, the brain remains active, producing dreams shaped by imagination and neurological factors. It can be influenced positively by activities such as video games that enhance cognition, but it also gets bored easily, with research showing that attention often needs an emotional “reset” about every 10 minutes. Headaches, meanwhile, arise from complex interactions between chemicals, nerves, and muscles in the head and neck.

Remna Ni – Mizoram’s Day of Peace and Unity

Remna Ni, celebrated annually on June 30th in the northeastern state of Mizoram, holds a place of profound historical and emotional significance for the Mizo people. Known as “Peace Day,” Remna Ni commemorates the signing of the Mizo Peace Accord in 1986, which brought an end to two decades of insurgency and unrest in the state. It is a day not only to remember the past but to celebrate the return of peace, stability, and democratic progress in Mizoram. The origins of Remna Ni lie in a long period of political turmoil. In the 1960s, due to dissatisfaction with the Indian government’s handling of famine and development in the Mizo Hills (then part of Assam), the Mizo National Front (MNF) launched an armed uprising in 1966, demanding independence.
