The idea that we use 10% of our brain is a common folksy observation-- see the page above.
Per your logic, however, we don't use ourour appendix either, and it- as well as the container is still around. As far dormant brain humans-- well, all you have to do is travel to Washington DC and that takes care of your argument. :-)
