ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The World Brain Day is being observed on Tuesday (July 22) for the first time to create awareness of factors which can lead to brain hemorrhage.
The theme of the day is ‘Our Brain-Our future’.
The World Federation of Neurology has launched the event and dedicated it to highlighting the importance of brain health and prevention of brain diseases, a largely underestimated health problem.
The health experts said that factors behind these mental disorders are deteriorating law and order situation, insecurity, inflation, lack of justice and other necessities of life like electricity, water, gas and unemployment.
The human brain consists of millions and millions of electrical wires which are known as axons. This distance is the equivalent of travelling around the earth four times in a row! It is thought that there are about 80 billion neurons within the human brain. There are about 10 trillion connections between these neurons which help us to read, write, watch, learn, plan, think, feel, move and solve problems on a daily basis.
