What is the human brain?

Did you know there is a supercomputer inside your head that runs on less power than a tiny refrigerator lightbulb? It’s true! Your brain is a squishy, grey blob that weighs about three pounds—exactly like a small cantaloupe—but it controls absolutely everything you do! Join Mira and Finn on Science is Not Boring as they uncover the wild secrets of the most complex machine in the known universe. Discover how a scientist made "brain soup" to count an amazing 86 billion tiny cells called neurons! We'll learn how these biological wires shoot electrical sparks at mind-blowing speeds of 270 miles per hour, which is faster than a Formula One race car! Find out why your amygdala (which totally sounds like a dinosaur!) makes your stomach drop on a rollercoaster, and why going to sleep is literally just taking out the brain trash in a magical nightly biological car wash. Your brain even has more connections than there are stars in the entire Milky Way galaxy! So get ready to stretch those neurons and build your brain city in this super-charged, fact-filled episode!
