World Brain Day 2014
Brain is the most amazing and complex organ in the human body
The human brain consists of millions and millions of electrical wires which are known as axons.
This distance is the equivalent of travelling around the earth four times in a row! It is thought that there are about eighty billion neurons within the human brain. There are about ten trillion connections between these neurons which help us to read, write, watch, learn, plan, think, feel, move and solve problems on a daily basis.
Diseases affecting brain such as Stroke
Diseases affecting the brain include Stroke, Epilepsy, Depression, Tumors, Traumatic Injury, Alzheimer’s Disease, Infections, Headache, Sleep Disorder and Genetic Disorders.
Diseases affecting the brain are the single most important cause of disability in the world.
It's time to act. Let’s get together to promote better brain health globally.
Exercise; healthy eating; avoidance of tobacco, drugs and alcohol; reading; and problem solving promote brain health.
