Do Humans Only Use 10% of Their Brain?

         Do humans only use 10% of their brain?  This statement was created by a newspaper from the 80's that had a picture of a brain and a caption saying humans only use 10% of their brain.  There are many different perspectives according to http://www.helium.com.  This myth is very believable because most people don't know what the human brain is capable of.
         A scientific content linked to this topic is the anatomy of the brain,  at http://www.helium.com they say that the brain has so many CC's that it is only possible to use only 10% of your brain if you have a disability.  The brains anatomy uses a different part for most things you do, so even if your just thinking your using up to 12% of your brain.
         This myth is not true, in fact according to http://www.snopes.com the average human uses up all 100% of their brain by the end of the day.  While just talking you are using 15-20% of your, so the only time you are using less than 10% of you brain is when your sleeping.  This myth has been busted!

  1. The pictures and set up of your blog are very good. Although through reading there is a few spots that could use work. Such as when you said "the brain has so many CC's" you could have defined what CC's are because i don't know what they are. Over all good job Dom.
