Your brain is an amazing organ, considering that it is less than 3% of your body weight but contributes up to 25% of fuel consumption to make energy. Yet it is vulnerable to damage as it carries out its remarkable tasks. How does this happen? What does it mean for you as an individual and humans as a species? Discover the remarkable things your brain does, how all of this requires energy, and what you can do to protect your amazing and vulnerable brain.
