Albert Einstein's Brain Saved at the Museum, This Is The Unusual Thing That Is On His Brain
The Mütter Museum is one of two places in the world where you can see the pieces of Albert Einstein's brain.
The part of the brain, with a thickness of 20 microns and colored with cresyl violet, is maintained in a glass slide on display at the main Museum Gallery.
Albert Einstein's Nobel Prize-winning trip in this world did not end at his death at the age of 76 in 1955, in some ways it has just begun.
When the physicist died in New Jersey, the pathologist Thomas Harvey, MD, autopsied the body and took Einstein's brain without the consent of the family.
Harvey actually got permission to guard the brain, it was only on condition that it was used for scientific research.
For decades, Harvey saves the brains of one of the world's greatest inventors in glass jars.
Sometimes it's in a juice box under a beer cooler.
Harvey dissected the brain into 240 blocks and produced 1,000 microscopic slices of brain tissue.
Dr. Harvey sent pieces of brain around the world.
The scientist who has examined his brain has concluded that it is not normal.
Einstein's brain weighed less than the adult male brain averaging about 12,247 grams below 13.60 grams, the inferior parietal region of the brain 15% larger than the average brain.
Some scientists think that his brain does not have an anatomical aperture called the Sylvian fissure.
Neuroscientists speculate that it adds Einstein's reasoning and mathematical skills.
In addition, Einstein's brain does not have some of the degenerative changes that typically occur in 76-year-old men.
Regardless of this observation, the source of Einstein's genius remains a mystery.
Harvey eventually donated the rest of Einstein's brain to the pathology department at Princeton Hospital.
The Mütter Museum received a brain part from Lucy B. Rorke-Adams, MD, Senior Neuropathology at Philadelphia Children's Hospital and Professor of Pathology Clinic, Neurology, and Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania.
