    Women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression than men in the United States.

    The human brain has about 100,000,000,000 (100 billion) neurons.

    From all the oxygen that a human breathes, twenty percent goes to the brain.

    People who ride on roller coasters have a higher chance of having a blood clot in the brain.

    Once a human reaches the age of 35, he/she will start losing approximately 7,000 brain cells a day. The cells will never be replaced.

    It is not possible to tickle yourself. The cerebellum, a part of the brain, warns the rest of the brain that you are about to tickle yourself. Since your brain knows this, it ignores the resulting sensation.

    A women from Berlin Germany has had 3,110 gallstones taken out of her gall bladder.

    In America, the most common mental illness is Anxiety Disorders.

    Your brain is 80% water.

    Your brain is move active and thinks more at night than during the day.

    Interesting, too bad I like roller coasters. What is the reason behind this.

    How does fact 7 relate to the topic?

    Hassan its pretty obvious ... blood flow probably fluctuates when riding a roller coaster, due to the physics of the ride ... which might cause damage to the brain ...

    Adrenaline gets pumped when on a rollar coaster, this increases blood flow, so it also increases pressure, methinks.
