This is a sequel to an earlier post I did on the brain. The brain is our most energy-consuming organ. Representing only 2% of the weight of an adult, the brain consumes 20% of the energy produced by the body. That clearly means it does 10 times more work than an average human tissue by weight.
The brain is the human body's most complicated organ. Many think that only 10 percent of their brain is ever used by an individual. But is it real or a myth?
Out of all the brain's cells, only 10 percent are neurons; the other 90 percent are glial cells, which encapsulate and support the neurons, but whose function remains largely unknown. So, it's not that we use 10 percent of our brains, merely that we only understand about 10 percent of how it functions. Maybe that's where the 10% notion is coming from. In recent years experiments in research labs have busted the 10% myth.
So if not 10%, how much of the brain capacity do we use, and can we improve on that?

Two of my recent posts related to heart and brain respectively were flagged for plagiarism. Here's why I think @steemcleaners assessment was in error.
Heart and brain are keywords that bring up billions of pages on the web. The likelihood of finding matches to any cherry-picked phrases, partial sentences or even sentences related to such an omnipresent topic is extremely high, giving rise to the copy-paste conundrum. But is that enough for proving plagiarism?
To counter the plagiarism allegations, I searched for the top plagiarism detecting algorithms available on the Internet and picked up two of the highest ranked sites to test both the posts for plagiarism. They are https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism-checker and https://www.duplichecker.com
Used both of these highly credible sites to test both of my blog posts that were subject of accusers' allegations. Instead of submitting the screenshots of the results, I recorded the live screen activity so you can see the entire process while the content is actually processed by the plagiarism algorithms of these sites. Here is the video evidence:
The results speak for themselves. None of these algorithms detected any plagiarism in any of those articles. You have links of these sites and can also check it yourself. If you want to find out what percent of content similarity is acceptable by peer reviewed journals here's the answer.
Hope this is enough evidence to prove that plagiarism allegation against me is not valid. As such, I request you to please remove your downvotes, and I request you to upvote to compensate the other prejudicial downvotes to these posts and two of my other posts that resulted because of your subjective judgment.
The issue also raises another important question: Would you use your subjective judgment when very efficient algorithms are available to check plagiarism objectively and instantly?
Thanks
