Professor Falk and his team of colleagues, Frederick E. Lepore at RobertWood Johnson Medical Academy and Adrianne Noe, Director of the National Museum of American Health and Medicine, first described the entire cortex of Albert Einstein in The study was published on November 16 in the journal Brain: 'The cortex of Albert Einstein - a description and preliminary analysis from unpublished images'.

Comparing 14 images from the Einstens brain with the 85 brains of ordinary people, anthropology professor Dean Falk at Florida State University confirmed that many of the geniuses of this genius's brain were not like ordinary people.

"Although the overall size and asymmetric shape of Einstein's brain is normal, parts such as the prefrontal cortex, sensory-nutritional cortex, primary motor shell, apical cortex, temporal cortex, " Falk said. and occipital shells are different from those of comparison. These differences may be the basis of neuroscience showing the mathematical ability and the transcendental spatial vision of this scientist. '

At the time of Einstein's death in 1955, the scientist's brain was removed and photographed at every angle with his family's permission.

After that, the brain is divided into 240 small samples to capture tissue film. However, most of the above films were lost during the show to the public for over 55 years.

This time, scientists surveyed 14 images collected by the US National Museum of Health and Medicine.
