Few organs in the human body are as remarkable — or as demanding — as the brain. Despite accounting for only about 2% of an adult’s body weight, the brain consumes roughly 20% of the body’s total energy, and in children, that number can soar to 60%. This immense energy requirement fuels everything from conscious thought and memory to movement and emotion. To sustain this activity, the brain relies on an intricate vascular network — an estimated one billion capillaries, each nourishing a single neuron.
