As clinical neurology experts, we are here to dispel some common myths about the human brain. One of the most prevalent misconceptions is that we only use 10% of our brains. This is simply not true. In fact, the size of the brain does not necessarily determine intelligence. While some creatures may have larger brains than humans, their brains may not be as complex. Additionally, non-cognitive factors such as social and emotional intelligence also play a role in determining intelligence. IQ tests are not always an accurate measure of intelligence, as there are many different types of intelligence that cannot be measured by these tests. As neurology professionals, we encourage everyone to continue learning about the complexities of the human brain and to not believe in common myths. The transmission of information from your eyes to your body is processed in a way that makes sense. Additionally, if we examine the brain, we can identify different parts with specific functions. One such part is the brain stem, often referred to as the lizard brain, which controls basic functions like arousal levels, breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also houses certain motor functions. Another important part of the brain is the cerebellum, located at the bottom, which is involved in motor control and planning. While performing a task, multiple parts of the brain may be utilized, but not all at once. Contrary to the belief that video games deteriorate the brain, this is actually a myth. Research has shown that video games, especially those focused on teamwork, problem-solving, puzzle-solving, and strategic thinking, can be beneficial. They help develop and strengthen various areas of the brain, particularly in children. Video games are also used in surgical training to practice skills through simulators. The amount of time spent playing video games is subjective, as there is no defined limit. However, excessive withdrawal from social activities and a preference for gaming over other pursuits may indicate a problem. It is important to maintain a balanced approach and not let gaming negatively impact one's social life. Contrary to popular belief, memory does not necessarily decline with age. In fact, certain types of memory, such as semantic memory, can improve as one gets older.

The internet will tell you Barry Bonds retired in 2007, when he last played a game. But there was that moment in 2008 when he proclaimed to the baseball world, “I’m not retired”. Unfortunately for Bonds, baseball had already determined otherwise. A classic example of the game being done with you before you are done with the game. Something we see often, most notably the black quarterback. It seems we only hear about black quarterbacks retiring years after the phone stops ringing. Similar to the line from the old G.I. Joe cartoon I watched as a kid, they don’t retire, they just fade away. See Kordell Stewart, whose retirement came seven years after his final game. See Aaron Brooks, Michael Vick, Daunte Culpepper, Byron Leftwich, David Garrard, and even Colin Kaepernick. How is it that the same athletes that changed the way the position has been played and added so much entertainment value to the sport always seem to have their careers end so quietly and uneventful?

In the distant reaches of the universe, on a planet eerily similar to our own, a remarkable dilemma has befallen its inhabitants. Their lives, their very cognition, hinge on a mysterious element known as Nuronium, found in their atmosphere. Unlike humans, these beings require Nuronium for their cognitive faculties. Without it, imagination and reflective thought slip away, and over time, even long-term memories fade into oblivion. While it's a fragile existence, Nuronium also offers a boundless source of clean energy, powering their civilization for millennia.
