If you are in China and eat a whole monkeys brain without leftovers then you used 100% of the brain

Good question, 10%
by Maul on November 26th, 2009
We use closer to 100%. The 10% is a myth.
The 10% myth most likely arose from a misunderstanding (or public misrepresentation) of neurological research undertaken in the late 1800s or early 1900s when researchers either:
1: discovered that only about 10% of the neurons in the brain are firing at any given time; or
2: announced that they had only mapped the functions of 10% of the brain at that time (accounts differ on this point).
