Einstein's Brain Power
Posted in 3rd March 2015

The world has never stopped thinking about Albert Einstein, arguably one of the century's greatest minds. Now, scientists who have reexamined his brain have come up with a theory of why Einstein, whose brain was preserved after he died in 1955, was capable of such prodigious mental feats as conceiving the theory of relativity and other laws of physics.

The finding, appearing in tomorrow's issue of The Lancet, is based on measurements showing that Einstein's parietal lobes, which sit roughly behind the ears on both sides of the brain, are unusually large. As a result, his brain is about 15% wider than that of most people and, rather than being egg-shaped, it's almost perfectly round. The work was done by a team led by neuroscientist Sandra Witelson of McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, which maintains a "brain bank" of about 100 normal people. Three years ago, Witelson was contacted by the "curator" of Einstein's brain, former Princeton University pathologist Thomas Harvey, who asked her if she was interested in examining the brain.

Witelson focused on these structures because modern imaging techniques have recently confirmed the parietal lobes as being responsible for visual and three-dimensional representation and mathematical reasoning. The team's findings suggest that "bigger is better," she says: "The larger the region devoted to a specific cognitive function, the better you are at that task." What's more, the lower part of these structures, the inferior parietal lobules, are not divided by a major cleft in Einstein's brain, an anatomic feature Witelson has not seen in any of her 91 control brains, nor in more than 100 brains she looked up in various brain atlases. The absence of a cleft, she hypothesizes, "might have allowed for his brilliance and his ability to put spatial representations into mathematical concepts" by allowing his axons to connect nerve cells in different ways

My advise

1....    The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem.

2....     Brain stem: acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.

3...    Cerebellum: is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.

4...    Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.

5...    The cerebrum is divided into two halves: the right and left hemispheres (Fig. 2) They are joined by a bundle of fibers called the corpus callosum that transmits messages from one side to the other. Each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body. If a stroke occurs on the right side of the brain, your left arm or leg may be weak or paralyzed.

6...    Not all functions of the hemispheres are shared. In general, the left hemisphere controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing. The right hemisphere controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills. The left hemisphere is dominant in hand use and language in about 92% of people.

7...   Your child will be brilliant in any subject like Mathematics, Zoology, Botany, History ........according to the cells opened.    No couple can give birth to a child brilliant in all subjects.   He will show interest in the subject whose brain cells are opened.  To open brain cells needs sufficient oxygen.

8...   Mother should control her tastes and take healthy food if she wants a brilliant child
