Brain Chemistry and Behavior
Chemicals known as neurotransmitters facilitate the transfer of information/stimuli/signals/data from neuron to neuron (cell to cell) within the neuronal network in the brain.
The brain is involved in almost all the bodily activity including speech, movement, vision, hearing, smelling, tasting, learning and thinking processes. These chemicals (neurotransmitters) are synthesized in the compartment of the neurons called the cell bodies. In simple terms, these chemical signals are modulated and harnessed in the brain to produce different kinds of bebehavior and information ttransfer.
These chemicals include glutamate, Gama-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, nor-adrenaline (nor-epinephrine), acetylcholine and so on.
It is so fascinating that our behaviors are produced by interaction of chemical molecules. And by implication, chemicals control our world. It is important for us to have a good knowledge of the neuro or psycho-active substances for the good of the whole world.

BRAIN IN MOTION
Brain in motion
Every motion involves energy. Energy is the ability to do work. It is a product of applied force (effort made) and distance moved (problems solved) in the direction of the force applied (effort made).
One form of energy could be transformed to another. For instance electrical to heat, mechanical to electrical, electrical to mechanical, chemical to electrical and so on.
When the brain is set in it's own kind of motion, the chemical energy stored in the glucose and or ketone molecules in the brain is transformed into intellectual power (thoughts). Intellectual power is the rate of energy used by the brain per unit time. This can rightly be called brain power.
Brain power, interestingly, varies from person to person, depending on the factors x-rayed in the post titled "INTELLIGENCE" on this blog.
The minds of so many people in our world are like lightning bolt. The lightning bolt possesses the amount of energy enough to power a city of 20 million people for one year. But no one has been able to come up with the technology to tap this tremendous energy. The tremendous mental energies of so many in our world have, also, not been tapped.
Brain power can be up-regulated through:
1. Constant intellectual exercise bouts.
2. Consumption of brain-friendly foods.
3. Avoidance of brain-damaging foods.
Taking these steps constitute a road map to tapping into the energy of the brain.
A brain in motion is a brain at work. It is a brain that thinks a new thing per unit time.

ACQUIRED SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE
Hard work engenders improvement in whatever one does (Duckworth, 2016). Constant mental hard work has been shown to enhance intelligence quotient (IQ) and high intelligence quotient correlates with high productivity. Productivity, in turn, is a direct measure of success.
Studies also show that the more appropriately and adequately one uses their brain, the higher their life expectancy. But sadly, available statistics shows that only 0.2% of the world's population are able to develop their brains maximally. Therefore, the average human brain functions at very low capacity. This explains the very low productivity and life expectancy in many nations of the world.
Noteworthy is the fact that the world has changed from a resource-based to a knowledge-based economy, where nations that depend on knowledge of other nations wade through economic storms, while their independent counterparts fly high and soar economically, socially and politically.
Acquired superior intelligence is that important!
