EINSTEIN `S BRAIN WAS STOLEN ?

Dr. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton Hospital in Trenton, New Jersey. In accordance with her wishes, she was cremated without ceremony on the same day, and his ashes scattered at an undisclosed location.

Dr. Harvey was the pathologist who conducted an autopsy of Einstein, and while doing so, he was removed and stored the brain to learn on their own. Some say that Einstein volunteered his brain for research, but his estate executor deny this, saying that Einstein's son Hans who made the decision to have it preserved. But the press soon learned that Einstein's brain has been set aside for learning, and antagonized Einstein's family with unwanted attention.

Dr. Harvey became very protective of the brain, and divided into 240 parts, which he keeps in a jar in his house. A network of brain neurons and maintained by eating cells called glial cells. Dr Diamond compared the percentage of glial cells in Einstein's brain with another man who died at the age of him, and found that it contained about 73% more than average. This suggests that neurons Einstein may have a greater metabolic demand, they are needed and used more energy.


Over the years, Dr. Harvey toted the rest of the brain with her whenever she moved, until 1996 when he moved back to New Jersey. There, Dr. Harvey gave up the remaining pieces of Einstein's brain Dr Elliot Krauss, chief pathologist at Princeton Hospital. Brain immediately subjected to some serious scientific openness. Scientists from McMaster University were given access to it, and they found that the brains of Einstein is extraordinary in some other way.
The researchers found that Einstein's brain is 15% wider than average, due to the fact that the parietal regions in both hemispheres theinferior far more developed than most. This would give Einstein a strong visualization skills, given that the majority of brain regions responsible for visuospatial cognition, mathematical thought, and image motion. They also found that Einstein's brain did not have a groove that normally runs through a part of this region, which suggests that neurons may be able to work together more easily remember their closeness.

During his life, Einstein quickly shrink your own intelligence, to hear comments, "is the contrast between the popular assessment of my strength ... and in fact just weird." "The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious" Albert Einstein once said.
