SHOCKING!!! THIS WAS FOUND IN EINSTEIN'S BRAIN
Several hours after his death, Albert Einstein's brain was removed from his head by scientists who were curious to know the reason for his high level of intelligence. His brain was surgically removed from his head and split into various smaller fragments. When the scientists began to analyze the various tissues in his brain,this was their shocking discovery.
Although the overall size and asymmetrical shape of Einstein's brain were normal,the prefrontal,somatosensory,primary motor, parietal, temporal and occipital cortices were extraordinary.
One part of the operculum called Broea's area helps in speech production but in Einstein's case, he had a smaller Broea's area which was why he didn't say much while he lived. To compensate, the inferior parietal lobe was 15 percent wider than normal. The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement. Owing to this, Einstein was said to have made a comment while he was alive. He said "I thinkand not verbally."
During his lifetime, he was always engaged in much thought and he spoke less too, carefully observing the world around him.
Einstein's brain had more glial cells relative to neurons in all parts of his brain studied but only in the left inferior parietal area was the difference statistically significant. This area is part of the association cortex regions of the brain responsible for incorporating and synthesizing information from multiple other brain regions.
Glial cells provide support and nutrition in the brain,form myelin and participate in signal transmission, and the other integral components of the brain, beside the neurons.
In Einstien's brain, regions involved in speech and language are smaller, while regions involved with numerical and spatial processing are larger.
