The myth that humans use only 10 percent of their brain has circulated for more than a century, captivating the public imagination and prompting countless books, films, and motivational speeches. Despite its popularity, this claim lacks scientific grounding. In reality, the cerebral capacity of the human brain is vast and complex, and modern neuroscience has shown that nearly all regions of the brain serve specific, measurable functions. Understanding how much of our brain we actually use not only dismantles outdated misconceptions but also reveals how optimizing brain function may support cognitive longevity and overall mental health.
