These are the top 10 myths about the human brain. When it comes to our brains, there’s a lot we’re yet to learn - for example, exactly what role sleep plays in memory formation, and how to stop the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
But there's plenty that scientists do know, and you might be surprised to find that a lot of it contradicts what you believe to be true about the brain. Like the fact that your intelligence decreases with age, or that classical music makes babies smarter. And we hate to be the ones to tell you this, but you’re not actually a creative right-brained thinker who performs better under pressure.
