"Humans only use a fraction of their brain"

    There is a popular conception, AFAIK spawned by a Church of Scientology
ad quoting Albert Einstein, that humans only use a fraction of their brain
(10% or one third, I do not remember).
    I remember reading an article ages ago which explained what originally
meant by his statement;  if you have this information, I would be grateful
if you could post it to this newsgroup.
    I am asking because I am currently taking a course where this idea is
being heavily debated;  allow me to emphasize that I neither subscribe to
this idea nor advocate the Church of Scientology.
