We have 6,000 genes that are expressed in the brain, this makes up 20% of all or our genes. The total number of genes we have is 30,000. The cerebral cortex (where higher functions reside) makes up 77% of the brain. Let's give this part of us a workout, we can make it more flexible. A rat has 31% of the brain dedicated to higher functions. The brain in an adult is 2.8 pounds or 2% of the body weight. (we can't blame weight gain on this area).
