Question: Does the brain get used the most?

Interesting question, I’m not sure! We have a few organs in our bodies that are always working. For example, the heart and lungs don’t rest so we keep breathing and getting blood pumped around the body even we’re resting/sleeping. But the brain is also always working in some way, especially the parts of the brain that control those automatic body functions like breathing. Because the brain is like the “control center” you could maybe argue it’s the most used organ, but the heart, lungs (and maybe the skin!) are good contenders too
