In case you don't know this by now, let me clue you in on a little secret: the brain is a pretty amazing and stunningly complex organ, and it pretty much makes you who you are.

Hence, I can only assume you are not one to pass up the opportunity to learn more about it. Not when all you have to do is sit back, relax and spend less than 3 minutes watching an adorably animated video.

The footage below made it online this past July 6, when it was posted on the ASAP Science channel on YouTube. It is intended to help people gain a better understanding of their brain by debunking 7 myths surrounding this organ.

I have absolutely no intention to take the fun out of watching the video, so I will do my best not to give you any spoilers. More so since I happen to hate spoilers myself.

I will, however, say this, if you think it's true we only use a certain percentage of our brain at a time or that bigger brains are somehow better, you are in for a big surprise.

These being said, here's hoping you'll enjoy watching this video as much as I have.
