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.

REVEALED!!! FIVE WAYS OF PURIFYING WATER WITHOUT USING ALUM OR OTHER CHEMICALS

Image
Did you know that banana peels could be used to purify water?? If you are living in Nigeria, then you are opportuned to have this article. Due to human activities on the face of the earth, our water system has been polluted and is in a desolate state. Despite the fact that the earth is 71% water covered not all of this water is fit for drinking. Owing to this, man has provided ways of preserving our remaining water reserve for consumption. Formally we used chemicals and coagulants like Alum,chlorine, bromine, iodine,to purify water but these methods have side effects which can result in death,complex diseases, system disorders and other health risks. To tackle this problem, we here at kulture360 have researched and discovered five local ways of purifying water from the plants and trees around us,these include; 1.Using fruit peelings e.g apple,tomato This method was outlaid by a research associate from the National University of Singapore, Ramakrishna Mallampati. His method co

EVOLUTION OF GENETICS

Image
Genetics is the science of heredity and variation. On one hand, heredity is the biological process of transferring genetic information and physical traits from parents to their offspring. The term heredity, which comes from the Latin word hereditatem which means “ condition of being an heir “, was first used in the 1530’s. The gene is known to be the basic unit of heredity. In this page, we will explore the history of genetics and important events around the subject of genetics from the dawn of time to the contemporary researches. In deeper terms, it is a segment of the DNA which encodes for a specific protein. Genes are passed on from parent to child and are believed by many to be an important part of what decides looks and behavior. On the other hand, genetic variation is the difference in alleles and genes, both within and among populations. The primary sources of genetic variation are: gene flow, mutation, and genetic shuffling . History of Genetics During 19th Century Ma
