Brain Capacity

Fallacy:
The brain can get tired by reading to much information.

Fact:
The statement seems to assume that the brain is the same as the mind. The brain has many parts, made up of tissues just as the rest of the body is. It controls bodily movements and is also concerned with the different senses. All the knowledge that we have, first comes to us through the sense organs. The mind, however, is not a physical thing; it cannot be seen or weighed. It is the part of our being with which we learn, remember, think, and feel. Nevertheless, it is through the brain that the mind works. The mind cannot function without a brain to gather all the impressions relayed by the senses.

These sense impressions automatically go to specific areas in the brain. Everytime we absorb or recall them, a deeper track of impression occurs in the brain nerves that is made by the incoming impression. The brain by nature will continually allow us to remember sets of impressions that we had in the past. Unless the brain becomes diseased or injured, it can go on receiving impressions and connecting new ones. Usually, the more connections or experiences we have, the easier it will be to recall these impressions.

What is true: the brain does not get tired. It is the muscles of the sense organs, such as the eye, that tire and need rest.
