  2. Brain of Albert Einstein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_of_Albert_Einstein

    Another study led by Shanghai-based East China Normal University's Department of Physics, "The Corpus Callosum of Albert Einstein's Brain: Another Clue to His High Intelligence", published in the journal Brain on September 24, 2013, showed a new technique to conduct the study, which is the first to detail Einstein's corpus callosum, the brain's ...

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Falk

    Falk led a team that described the entire cerebral cortex of Albert Einstein in 2013, [5] and collaborated with Weiwei Men et al. in analyzing his corpus callosum. [6] In 2014, Falk published her work on "Interpreting sulci on hominin endocasts: old hypotheses and new findings in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience". Her work summarized what ...

  5. Corpus callosum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum

    The corpus callosum (Latin for "tough body"), also callosal commissure, is a wide, thick nerve tract, consisting of a flat bundle of commissural fibers, beneath the cerebral cortex in the brain. The corpus callosum is only found in placental mammals . [ 1 ]

  6. Neuroscience and intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_and_intelligence

    These findings indicate that the brain is structurally interconnected and that axonal fibres are integrally important for fast information process, and thus general intelligence. [5] Contradicting the findings described above, VBM failed to find a relationship between the corpus callosum and intelligence in healthy adults. [25]

  7. Commissural fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissural_fiber

    The corpus callosum is essential to the communication between the two hemispheres. [2] A recent study of individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum suggests that the corpus callosum plays a vital role in problem solving strategies, verbal processing speed, and executive performance. Specifically, the absence of a fully developed corpus ...

  8. Dual consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_consciousness

    The procedure of surgically removing the corpus callosum is called a corpus callosotomy. Patients who have undergone a corpus callosotomy are colloquially referred to as "split-brain patients". They are called so because now their brain's left and right hemispheres are no longer connected by the corpus callosum. [citation needed]

  9. Anterior cingulate cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cingulate_cortex

    In the human brain, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex that resembles a "collar" surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. It consists of Brodmann areas 24, 32, and 33.
