Einstein's  Brain

People always wondered how Einstein was so smart. Scientists thought that he may of had increased glial cells numerical and spatial regions of the brain were larger. Thomas Stoltz Harvey was the pathologist who took out Einstein's brain. He added 10% fomalin to the internal carotid arteries. After he then to photoes from many different angles. Last he took it apart into 240 pieces and encased in a plastic like material to preserve it.

Later studies in the 1980's at Cal University. Proffesor  Marian C. Diamond got samples of Einstein's brain and tested his with eleven ordinary men. She then counted all the glial cells with a microscope. She discovered he had more glial cell in all areas except the left inferior parietal which a lot smaller.

  At Mcmaster University in Ontario, Canada they revealed that Einstein's brain didn't have an inferior frontal gyrus in the frontal lobe of the brain. Also the lateral sulcus was missing. Also the Broca Area which plays an important role when speaking. So Einstein is thought to have Asperger's diesease. To make up for that though his inferior parietal lobe was 15% percent wider and affects mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement.
