How many neurons does a mosquito use for its flying skills (much superior to any of us I believe), apart from the ones used to see, walk, breed, eat, avoid being eaten etc...?
Looking at the brain of many flying creatures you can understand how little of it is needed to move in the air (even using your own muscles to fly).
We use the same amount of brain to fly the planes, the vast majority of our neurons are used to talk about it (and I challenge the rats to beat us in doing it )
