After Albert Einstein died, and his brain was stolen by a scientist, see the discoveries made.
Even though Albert Einstein knew was greatly sick,he refused to go under the knife. A decision which could have saved and prolonged his life. He spent his last days in great pain and while at it,he made his wishes clear on how he wants his body to be treated after he must he must have passed on. He stated that he wants to be cremated
Einstein eventually died on the 18th of April, 1955 at the age of 76 of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurism. And as far as his bones were concerned,he got his wishes fulfilled. But shortly after his death during his autopsy,a pathologist named Thomas Harvey removed his brain. This is a brain that had produced the theory of relativity, the concept of the speed of light,the E=mc² and the idea that birthed the completion of the first atomic bomb.
Einstein 13 months before his death.
Harvey actually stole it because it was without the knowledge of the relevant regulatory bodies at first. He ran away with his brain to test it.
After forty years of testing and close examination,he passed it on to other scientists to study it. They later discovered that Einstein's brain had 17% more neurons than a normal persons brain.
It was also revealed that he had a lot more grey matter in form of glial cells than most regular brains which are thicker. Grey matter foldings have been linked to higher IQs.
To their amusement after prolonged examination,they discovery that was out of the ordinary. Einsteins' brain had a missing region known as the partial operculum region;a condition which allowed the inferior parietal lobule to grow 15% wider than normal.
This inferior parietal lobule is responsible for language,mathematical operations, and body image. This explains why Einstein was so good at mathematics
It was said that Einstein’s IQ was 160,while an average per son’s IQ is called 100
