Does your brain shrink if you use it less?

[CaptainWacky]

Like how your stomach shrinks if you eat less (or so they say)?

I think so

 

[Dr Dave]

Nope.

Lets ask someone with great experience in this field. Dershocka?

 

[Cassie]

I think that is why they give video games to old people.

 

[CaptainWacky]

It's not so much that it shrinks but you stop forming new pathways and old ones die...of course, if you were born with BRAIN DAMAGE like I must have been it doens't make a difference, penguin

 

[Dr Dave]

Go banana!

 

[Cassie]

Wacky, you have the biggest brain of all of us.

 

[CaptainWacky]

No.

 

[Dr Dave]

You can't say you ain't smart!

Does your brain shrink if you use it less?

Certain synapses in your brain wouldn't fire and might eventually might atrophy if you think in a the corresponding manner after awhile...

The way you use your brain changes it physically.

So techincally yes?

 

[Cassie]

I think I read somewhere, or saw it on TV that certain kinds of daydreaming is bad for your brain. I wish I could remember where I got that information! lol... I daydream all the time, it's like I have my own private soap opera playing in my head all the time.

Fish oils

 

[Cassie]

What did you just call me?

 

[CaptainWacky]

fish olis lubricate your brain

 

[Cassie]

Yeah, my great aunt takes fish oil. I WAS JUST KIDDING.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I don't take them. I'm scared they'll make me thnk.

 

[Cassie]

I gave them to my dog for a while. They're supposed to be good for your joints too, I think.

 

[CaptainWacky]

you don't need joints if you have a brain

 

[Dr Dave]

I gave them to my dog for a while. They're supposed to be good for your joints too, I think.

Did the dog do anyting intresting during this time?
