What are the harmful effects of energy drinks on brain?

None 100% of time: The caffeine and stimulation can cause heart rhythm problems and some associated deaths have occurred. The vitamins are urinated out if in excess, so do not really 'hurt' the brain. Should never exceed TWO in a day for safety -- and to avoid bankruptcy!

Many: It ranges from hyperactivity, hyperexcitability, irritability, insomnia and mood swings and don't forget about the arrhythmias you may develop

Energy drinks: Energy drinks contain sugar and caffeine that are stimulants to the nervous system. Excessive amounts can cause headaches, dizziness, nervousness, and insomnia. Seizures have been reported with the use of energy drinks but this is a rare event.
