It’s Brain Awareness Week, and Ozarks Healthcare neurology medical assistant Megan Webster on Tuesday shared the answer to a common myth about people only using 10 percent of their brain.
Webster explained, “Unless there is brain damage, most areas of the brain are active all the time to some degree. Even when you think you are not using your brain, such as during sleep, brain scans have revealed that widespread neural networks are active and working together.”
Ozarks Healthcare staff focused on brain health throughout the week will debunk common myths residents may have heard about the human brain.
Brain Awareness Week takes place from March 14 through March 20.
The Dana Alliance founded the global campaign to foster support for brain science for Brain Initiatives.
