No, you can't lose brain cells from scratching your head. First, all brain tissue is encased inside the skull. Second, cells are pretty durable; Just as you don't kill your scalp or hair from scratching your head, you don't kill brain cells from scratching on the skin layer and tissue layer that is over the skull. Third, it requires major trauma (example: significant head injury in a traffic accident), or significant bleeding (example: such as in brain hemorrhage), or significant hypoxia (example: lack of oxygen from such as a substantial drug overdose), before brain cells begin to die.

What happens if you don't have brain cells?

When you lose a brain cell it doesn't mean you become less smart, but if you lose a great deal of them unnaturally and cause damage then there will be problems depending on the amount of damage done. Studies have proved that brain cells do died on a daily course, but when you are born you are born with an uncountable amount so you have nothing to worry about. Also sometimes brain cells can recharge themselves, it has been proven, but not on a daily course.


Do you get brain cells by playing outside?

No, playing outside does not directly result in the creation of brain cells. Brain cells, also known as neurons, are primarily formed during embryonic development. However, engaging in physical activity and outdoor play can support overall brain health by improving cognition, mood, and reducing stress.


Can brain cells regenerate?

Healthy individuals lose around 9,000 brain cells daily. Certain drugs such as ketamine, nitrous oxide, and inhalants cause brain cell death at almost thirty times the normal rate. Alcohol plays a role in brain cell death, but not as large a part as drugs.


What can harm your brain?
