  5. same as dan.
    but isnt how much info. ur brain can store depends on the person? or is there a limit as to when your brain has to much and starts forgetting stuff to remember new things?...

  6. Thats a whole lot of space!

    And to add on to what Dan and Michael said, what if someone has some kind of memory problem and ur brain doesn't store a lot and loses some of the info when they get new ones? Is there a limit to how much information you brain can store?!

  8. There probably is a limit to how much the brain can store because if there wasn't, wouldn't we be like incredibly smart? And when you learn something but forget it, the knowledge goes some place to your brain where you can't access it.

  9. THIS IS WILD!!!
    but i wonder why one of the brain banks only had 125 brains stored... i would think there would be much more...
    and can anyone decide to store their brain in those banks when they die?
    i would want to because its better to let people study and discover something from my brain rather than letting my precious brain rot...
    and why did mr. m take out a part of his brain that allowed him to make memories when he was still alive? is he that impatient???

    i once read that the right side of your brain controls your left side of you and the left side of your brain controls the right side of you. and that we only use 10% of our brain. i wonder what would happen if we could use all of our brain...
