WASHINGTON - A recent study conducted by scientists from Florida State University, Dean Falk, reveal about the brain of Albert Einstein are different from most other human brain. This is related to cognitive ability was outstanding.

Falk, along with colleagues Frederick E. Lepore of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Director of the National Museum of Health and Medicine, Adrianne Noe, describes for the first time on the entire section of Einstein's brain cortex of 14 photos of the new examination found.

Reported Machineslikeus, Friday (11/16/2012), the researchers compared the brains of Einstein with 85 human brains "normal" in functional imaging studies. "Although the overall size and shape of Einstein's brain asymmetry is normal, but the prefrontal, somatosensory, primary motor, parietal, temporal and occipital cortices was incredible," said Falk.

Falk said, the uniqueness is, it may have given neurological underpinnings for some visuospatial abilities and maths. The study, reported in The Cerebral Cortex of Albert Einstein: A Description and Preliminary Analysis of Unpublished Photographs will be published on 16 November 2012 in the journal Brain.

After Einstein's death in 1955, his brain was photographed from various angles with the permission of his family. Furthermore, images of the brain is the originator of the theory of general relativity is divided into 240 blocks.

But unfortunately, most of the photos and slide block has disappeared from public view for more than 55 years. 14 photos are used by these researchers, are kept by the National Museum of Health and Medicine.

Wikipedia explains, Albert Einstein was born in Germany, March 14, 1879. He died in New Jersey, United States on 18 April 1966 (age 76 years). Einstein is a theoretical physicist who is widely regarded as the greatest scientist in the 20th century.

He put forward the theory of relativity and greatly contributed to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and "for his services to Theoretical Physics". (Amr)
