If our brains were computers, we'd simply add a chip to upgrade our memory. The human brain, however, is more complex than even the most advanced machine, so improving our memory isn’t quite so easy. Just as it takes effort to build physical fitness, so too does boosting brain power.

Food for the brain memory
Eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids—healthy fats found in abundance in oily fish such as salmon—may protect against premature aging of the brain and memory problems in late middle age.

Brain Damaging Habits
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

The male brain and the female Brain
What kind of brain do you have? There really are big differences between the male and female brain, says Simon Baron-Cohen, director of the Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University. In his new book, the Essential Difference: Men, Women and the Extreme Male Brain (published by Penguin) Baron-Cohen shows that, indisputably, on average male and female minds are of a slightly different character. Men tend to be better at analysing systems (better systemisers), while women tend to be better at reading the emotions of other people (better empathisers). Baron-Cohen shows that this distinction arises from biology, not culture.
Brainwaves
Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which use electricity to communicate with each other. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected using sensitive medical equipment (such as an EEG), measuring electricity levels over areas of the scalp. The combination of electrical activity of the brain is commonly called a Brainwave pattern, because of its cyclic, 'wave-like' nature. Our mind regulates its activities by means of electric waves which are registered in the brain, emiting tiny electrochemical impulses of varied frequencies, which can be registered by an electroencephalogram. These brainwaves are known as:
Moves of the mind
The mind is the glue that holds our worlds together, how good we know the way to these enigmatic inner places, we go there when we have memories to keep alive. These rooms within us are complex, rich, rewarding, meaningful layers of memory we will always return to. Between birth and dead we collect intuitions of a gaze, we store forgotten dreams, waiting to be re-dreamed. The mind is the pilot who navigates us trough our mental universe, to visit the déja vu places and to give us reasons to dream.

Human brain has two hemispheres which function differently
From classical times, it has been known that the human brain has two distinct ways of thinking and knowing. Many scientists, intellectuals, and authors have given names to these two types of intelligence or cognitive styles. Some examples are: |
Left Brain | Right Brain | |
| RATIONAL | ||
| Maslow | Rational | Intuitive |
| Bruner | Rational | Metaphoric |
| Koestler | Associative thinking | Bisociative thinking |
| De Bono | Vertical | Horizontal or lateral |
| Bronowski | Deductive | Imaginative |
| Shopenhauer | Objective | Subjective |
| Freud | Secondary process | Primary process |
| Jung | Causal | Acausel |
| Langer | Discursive symbolism | Presentational symbolism |
| Neisser | Sequential processing | Multiple processing |
| Kubie | Conscious processing | Preconscious processing |
Whatever they are labeled, the effective use of these two distinctive processes is vital for all creative human thought, for the full functions of the human brain. |
10 amazing Facts about Brain
1.Your brain uses less power than your refrigerator light:
The brain uses 12 watts of power. Over the course of a day, your brain uses the amount of energy contained in two large bananas. Curiously, even though the brain is very efficient, it's an energy hog. It is only 3 per cent of the body's weight, but consumes 1/6 (17 per cent) of the body's total energy. Most of its energy costs go into maintenance; the added cost of thinking hard is barely noticeable.
