RE: Are you really using only 10% of your brain?

Yes, thank you, it is a bit clearer now. But I still struggle with this "production of neurons" thing. I thought that a message from a neuron just goes to another neuron through synapses, not produces a new neuron. Or that just means that the source neuron can be in one of 26 different (activation) states?

Sort:  

Neurons could come in 26 different sizes. Neurogenesis talks about the creation of neurons, the last thing I have read about it was this: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-the-adult-brain-really-grow-new-neurons/
