Myths about the human brain

Hope you are all well & enjoying your time here on the forum.

I wasn't really looking for myths about the brain but found this site which is interesting at least in my humble little old opinion -

Myth 6: Drinking Alcohol Kills Brain Cells

Fact: Partly related to the myth that we never grow new neurons is the idea that drinking alcohol can lead to cell death in the brain. Drink too much or too often, some people might warn, and you'll lose precious brain cells that you can never get back. We've already learned that adults do indeed get new brain cells throughout life, but could drinking alcohol really kill brain cells?

While excessive or chronic alcohol abuse can certainly have dire health consequences, experts do not believe that drinking causes neurons to die.5

So that is a load off!
