How much does your brain weigh and why?

Hey, Brain Explorers! It’s Alma! Today, we discovered that your brain weighs about 1.5 kilograms—kind of like a big bag of apples! But don't be fooled; it's heavy because it’s packed with amazing stuff like neurons, glial cells, and blood vessels that keep everything working smoothly. So, even though it’s small, it’s mighty and full of wonders. Keep exploring, and always be amazed at how awesome your brain is!
