Although the brain represents only about 2% of the body’s weight, it consumes a disproportionately large amount of energy. Estimates suggest that the brain uses up to 20% of the body’s total energy supply, despite its relatively small size. This high energy demand is necessary to support the brain’s extensive network of neurons and synapses, maintain electrical impulses, and sustain various cognitive processes such as thinking, learning, and memory formation.
