NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Norwood's Restaurant & Wine Shop, just east of the South Causeway Bridge, is going to the dogs, literally on Saturday morning, Jan. 21, with a series of events for dog lovers with proceeds to benefit the Southeast Volusia Humane Society.

Myth No. 1: We only use 10 percent of our brain.

Here's the truth: Brain imaging studies using PET scans and functional MRI show that any mentally complex activity uses many areas of the brain, and over a day, just about all of the brain gets a workout. More proof that the entire brain is crucial for daily life is the devastating impact of damage to even a small area of the brain.
