The new finding contrasts with Einstein's brain

Recent research has shown that Einstein's genius brain is not so different from the normal brain.

Ever since scientist Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, scientists have always tried to analyze and decipher the structure inside the brain of the person who is considered to have the greatest brain of the present age. great.

Previously, many scientists believed that Einstein's brain structure was much different from humanity. However, a recent study by Dr. Terence Hines of Pace University (New York, USA) has shown that previous studies may have been confused. If that research shows, Einstein's brain is no different than the brain of a normal person.

In 1985, a study showed Einstein's brain had more glial neurons than a moderate intellectual.Glial cells, also called neuroglia , function to supply nutrients to neurons to function, helping brain cells communicate with each other.

The head of the research, Diamond, reported that Einstein's brain had more glial cells than other brains. She hypothesized that the number of glial cells in Einstein's brain would increase to serve the great metabolic needs of neurons. In other words, Einstein needed more glial cells to clean up "waste" during his continuous thinking.

However, Dr. Terence Hines said that if relying on the study of glial cells is unfounded. Moreover, continuous glial cells are divided throughout their lives.

Besides, he talked about 28 tests done in 1985 to compare Einstein's brain with brain control and cognitive function. He said that this study was only true at that time but not accurate enough at the present time.

Most studies have been done on Einstein's brain slices. These slices of the brain are the work of pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey (1912 - 2007) - who used to take the autopsy of the famous scientist Albert Einstein. He carefully retained a part of his brain and separated Albert Einstein's brain into 170 parts, carefully preserved in the laboratory.

Dr. Hines and his colleagues analyzed brain slices and pointed out that there is not much difference between the brain and cognitive function of ordinary people. So he said: "If only relying on the analysis on one or a few small slices of the brain, but conclusions about the specific cognitive ability of the brain in a person are not convincing. we need to find more scientific materials with more basis ".

Once again, Dr. Hines pointed out unfounded conclusions in neuroscience research. Hopefully, with the advancement of science and technology today, we will have answers in the near future.
