The 10% Brain Use Fallacy
MRIs and other brain scans reveal that all of us use almost all of our brains throughout the day. It's true that at any given moment, not all of the neurons in our brain are firing (and perhaps that's the source of this claim). But it's not true that a significant portion of our brains lie dormant.
Individuals who undergo brain trauma almost always suffer from some signficant loss of function. When there is brain damage you can witness the effect. If 90% of the brain were not needed, there would be far more cases of strokes, anuerysms, and brain damage having no effect. The myth doesn't reconcile with the reality we witness.
