Albert Einstein – The Unique Brain

With a unique brain and excellent sub-consciousness, Einstein synonym to ‘genius’ posthumously remains the father of modern science. He is the pillar for the present and will be for our future generations who would still learn the uniqueness of mass energy equivalence (E= mc2) or special relativity and its fundamentals. Born in the year 14 March 1879 in a German family, he received the prestigious Nobel prize in Physics in the year 1921 for Photo-electric effect.
Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955. He was suffering from abdominal aortic aneurysm (triple A), but refused surgery, as he said, “I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, and it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.” An autopsy was performed by the pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harveywhere Einstein’s brain was photographed and sliced into 240 blocks for research purposes.
A deep study was conducted on the brain of this legendary scientist and reports say that the anatomy of his brain is really inimitable. Out of the various studies conducted on his brain, the study by this evolutionary anthropologist Dean Falk of Florida State Universityshed some light on the uniqueness. Falk focussed his study on brain’s largest bundle of fibers the ‘Corpus Callosum’ that connects the two cerebral hemispheres and facilitates interhemispheric communication which remains as yet another clue for Einstein’s high intelligence.
