Normal human brain VS Albert Einstein's brain
Albert Einstein's brain!
Einstein's brain was preserved after his death in 1955, but this fact was not revealed until 1978.
The brain of physicist Albert Einstein has been a subject of much research and speculation. 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. Scientific studies have suggested that regions involved in speech and language are smaller, while regions involved with numerical and spatial processing are larger. Other studies have suggested an increased number of glial cells in Einstein's brain.(Wikipedia)
Normal human brain!
Did you know that the human brain takes up a fifth of all the energy generated by our body in its resting state? It is similar to a 20-watt light bulb continuously glowing. If you
can imagine it,your brain consists of 100 billion cells, each oneof which connects to 1000 other brain cells making a total of 100,000 billion connections. There are more cell connection points in the human brain than there are stars in our galaxy. As Norman Cousins put it, “Not even the universe with all its countless billions of galaxies represents greater wonder or complexity than the human brain.”
