  2. Sandra Witelson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Witelson

    The lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure) in a normal brain. In Einstein's brain, this was truncated. Witelson came into possession of three portions of Albert Einstein's brain after being contacted by Dr. Thomas Stoltz Harvey, the pathologist at the hospital where Einstein died. In 1955, he took the brain and, after preserving, photographing, and ...

  3. Brain of Albert Einstein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_of_Albert_Einstein

    The brain of Albert Einstein has been a subject of much research and speculation. Albert Einstein 's brain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death. His apparent regularities or irregularities in the brain have been used to support various ideas about correlations in neuroanatomy with general or mathematical intelligence.

  4. Thought experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment

    The relation to real experiments can be quite complex, as can be seen again from an example going back to Albert Einstein. In 1935, with two coworkers, he published a paper on a newly created subject called later the EPR effect (EPR paradox).

  5. Einstein's thought experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein's_thought_experiments

    A hallmark of Albert Einstein's career was his use of visualized thought experiments (German: Gedankenexperiment [1]) as a fundamental tool for understanding physical issues and for elucidating his concepts to others. Einstein's thought experiments took diverse forms. In his youth, he mentally chased beams of light.

  6. Ten-percent-of-the-brain myth - Wikipedia

    Human brain and skull. The ten-percent-of-the-brain myth or ninety-percent-of-the-brain myth states that humans generally use only one-tenth (or some other small fraction) of their brains. It has been misattributed to many famous scientists and historical figures, notably Albert Einstein. [1]

  7. Geschwind–Galaburda hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geschwind–Galaburda...

    The Geschwind–Galaburda hypothesis has garnered empirical support from a number of studies. For instance, Witelson et al. discovered that Einstein’s brain exhibited an atypical pattern of cerebral lateralisation, which supports the hypothesis that brain lateralisation is related to cognitive abilities. [4]

  9. Brodmann area 39 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_39

    Albert Einstein had less neurones (relative to glial cells) in this (left sided) area than normal. [1] The right Brodmann area 39 appears to play a role in body image because electrical stimulation of the right angular gyrus induces an 'out-of-body' experience .
