Einstein’s Brain: Visually Extraordinary
SCIENTISTS REVIEWED RECENTLY DISCOVERED PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN OF ALBERT EINSTEIN’S BRAIN AT HIS 1955 AUTOPSY IN Princeton N.J. and “describe the external gross neuroanatomy of Einstein’s entire
cerebral cortex” in a paper for the journal Brain.
Among the findings are “evidence of his early training as a violinist, his highly-evolved skill in imagining events and simulating their consequences, and his remarkable powers of non-verbal visuospatial processing.” Also: “Einstein’s brain has an extraordinary prefrontal cortex, which may have contributed to the neurological substrates for
some of his remarkable cognitive abilities.”

Einstein fascinates me. He had so many personal struggles that are rarely discussed. He had the answers to so many scientific and mathematical theories that perplex most of us. In his personal life however there was much turmoil and struggle. He made so many wonderful quotes. I encourage everyone to Google Einstein quotes and enjoy reading them. I think most will be surprised. My favorite is “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”
Albert Einstein
We were lucky to have Einstein around to help make such great discoveries. I don’t doubt that he faced many challenges in his life due to his extraordinary talents…including his roll in the atomic bomb.
