The average person only uses at most 9.3 percent of their brains ability.

The human brain contains an average of 100 billion neurons, linked with up to 10,000 synaptic connections each. Neurons communicate with one another by means of protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body and target them to specific recipient cells.

The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds-only about two percent of our body weight. This three-pound structure uses 20 percent of the blood pumped by the heart and 15-20 percent of the body’s oxygen. Within this remarkable structure, the brain, there are approximately 100 billion neurons. Each neuron has 1,000 to 10,000 synapses or connections.
