Einstein's brain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death. The brain has attracted attention because of Einstein's reputation as one of the foremost geniuses of the 20th century, and apparent regularities or irregularities in the brain have been used to support various ideas about correlations in neuroanatomy with general or mathematical intelligence. On further studies it was found that parietal operculum region in the inferior frontal gyrus in the frontal lobe of the brain was vacant. Also absent was part of a bordering region called the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). Researchers at McMaster University speculated that the vacancy may have enabled neurons in this part of his brain to communicate better. #medicine #medical #medstudent #nurse #brain #neurology #neuroscience @medicalcortex #f4f #l4l #neurosurgery #premed #anatomy #premedlife #nursing #doctor #einstein #genious #neuroanatomy #surgeon
