• Question: We hear that messages and transferred to the brain, but the question is, is there a capacity of how much the brain itself can hold?

      The answer to that question is yet again we don’t really know. I think yes you are right, as there are a specific number of connections in the brain, and we think it is these connections that allow us to remember things, it makes sense that there are only a certain number of pieces of information that our brains can hold. As to the number of things a brain can know at once, maybe we will know one day in the future.
