10 fun facts about brain

Your brain stopped growing at the age of 18.

You can't tickle yourself because your brain distinguished between unexpected external touch and your own touch. 

While you sleep, your body produces a hormone that may prevent you from acting out your dreams, leaving you virtually paralyzed. 

Every time you blink, your brain kicks in and keeps things illuminated so the whole world doesn't go dark each time you blink (about 20,000 times a day). 

If you are snoring, you are not dreaming. 

Laughing at a joke is no simple task as it requires activity in five different areas of the brain. 

Just because you don't remember your dreams doesn't mean you don't dream. Everyone dreams! 

Those who are left-handed or ambidextrous have a corpus collosum (the part of the brain that bridges the two halves) that is about 11% larger than those who are right-handed. 

Brain waves are more active while dreaming than when you are awake. 

Scientists discovered that men and women's brains react differently to pain, which explains why they may perceive or discuss pain differently.
