10 daily oddities of our brain

The human brain is an organ, not only defines our personality, but also allows us to function normally every day. It is unimaginably complex mechanism, and some of the principles of its functioning unclear to scientists until now.

Like any complex mechanism, periodically, he makes mistakes. Large can lead to dire consequences, little happens everyday and we even have time to get used to them. But if you think about it, they are very strange.

We think that the taste of the food is determined solely by language, but in fact, it largely is born in the brain — based folded together information from the eyes, nose and tongue. If put on the human eye patch and plug his nose, he is often not able to identify the taste is the difference between an Apple and a potato.

We are taught from childhood that to be angry is bad, but the brain often whispers quite the opposite. Anger propels the blood adrenaline and makes us feel better, and the more we feel, the easier it is to succumb to her again.

Sometimes after a hearty meal, the brain seems to say to us, "of course, in the stomach there is still room for dessert!", although the stomach would be glad desperately to protest. Alas, the brain — if he feels that the food looks appetizing enough, it suppresses the signals from the digestive system and encourages us to eat another piece.
