Limits of the Human Brain

 

            We don't think of ourselves as changing. We are the same basic people we've always been. But some of the astonishing changes that the future holds in store for the human body can be a bit surprising. Technology and countless added factors have already contributed to the major loss of memory and intelligence overall. The human brain, being a machine striving for maximum efficiency, typically remembers where information is stored, rather than the information itself. This and many other contributions to brain development are having lasting effects on society itself. To add to those contributions, when comparing the writing styles from Shakespeare's time to current day, the art and imagination not only shows the limitedness of today's minds but how the creation is lost. In contrast, there are many who say that the human brain always has room to grow and expand, and does not have limited access because of their amazing ability to create and destroy emotions without restrictions. Human brain power is limited because of declining of memory, reduction in the central executive lobe and a lacking of nutrition. .
             The human brain only has a limited amount of storage space, including memory. Working memory is the system that actively holds multiple pieces of transitory information in the mind, where they can be manipulated. Understanding Scienceb by Selva, our brain can store 1000 doodles in each cell and a further 5000 doodles in each distinct connection. Doodles refer to a significant number that is immensely large, and is too big for the human mind to interpret. If we consider all the permutations and combination of cells and wiring, we get 10 raised to the power of some-doodillion. So there, that is the limit. Even though some may argue that this number is so big, it could be considered limitless because one will never reach it in their lifetime, it is still a number whether one is able to reach it in their lifetime or not.
