What is the Maximum Memory Capacity of the Human Brain? | neatorama The human brain consists of about one billion neurons, each of which forms about 1,000 connections to other neurons, amounting to more than a trillion connections. Neurons combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time, making the brain’s memory storage capacity something around 2.5 petabytes (or a million gigabytes). via lickystickypickyme THAT’S A LOT OF CAPACITY!
