What Made Albert Einstein Brain So Special;

Albert Einstein's brain was removed about eight hours after his death against his will by the pathologist, Thomas Harvey, the person who was in-charge of examining his body. Albert Einstein died in 1955 in Princeton.  He wished to be cremated secretly and debared any from conducting any research on his body.Harvley was extremely fascinated by Albert Einstein and was his great admirer and wanted to study his brain. At first everyone boycotted his  move of removing Einstein's brain and this act of his resulted in his suspension from his post but later when Einstein's son granted him permission to continue his research for the development of science every scientist from around the world expressed their desire to do the same.  Harvey divided the brain into 240 blocks. The analysis on Albert Einstein's brain began in the year 1975 .

The analysis produced some unusual results for instance, the size of Albert Einstein brain was smaller than usual which shocked the half of scientific community. He had fewer but larger in size galia cells. His brain had an extra middle frontal lobe which normally should be three in number. A study published in the journal brain threw more lights on what made him such a brilliant person, according to that journal Einstein's corpus callosum, the body's largest bundle of neuronal fibres underneath the cerebral cortex,  had extremely thick connections. The connections are between the halves of  three brain regions: the prefrontal cortex the region responsible for our abstract thinking and decision making, the second parietal Lobe which manages are sensory and motor functions and the  third visual cortex. The thicker connections means lower lateralization which in turns mean the person is either suffering with schizophrenia or is a psychopath.

Numerous studies have shown that one can alter his or her brain structure by doing activities that uses both hemisphere of one's brain at once. Multiple study hints at learning musical instruments because musicians  tend to use their whole brain at once. Albert Einstein himself was interested in playing violin.  It is said that your handness  determines which side of your brain is more active. If one is left handed his or her right side of brain is more active and vice a versa. Activities like juggling could help one in strengthening his or her whole brain. Solving logical and mathematical problem can also help in developing the whole brain because dealing with numbers requires both halves of one's brain.
