Is it really true that humans only use about 10% of their total cerebral capacity? Or is this just a myth/folklore?
Signals must follow a processing flow which means that parts of the brain will be quietly waiting input
A brain is a lot like an integrated circuit.

One circuit consisted of cocultured L10 and left upper quadrant (LUQ) neurons that formed reciprocal, inhibitory connections. In one stable state L10 was active and the LUQ was quiescent, whereas in the other stable state L10 was quiescent and the LUQ was active.
In the presence of noise and external excitation, a few local neurons switch “on” and generate streams of impulses while other neurons remain quiescent.
This transition function could be performed either by inhibiting the already active neuron population or by facilitating the firing of the reciprocal quiescent neuron population.
