Researchers now say that the hemispheres of Albert Einstein's brain were unusually well-connected
and that could have contributed to his brilliance. After his death in 1955 Einstein's son allowed
the nobel-prize-winning physicist's brain to be studied and while last year it was noted
that he had a dramatically expanded prefrontal cortex - a new technique to study the corpus
callosum - developed by Weiwei Men of East China Normal University's Department of Physics
found Einstein had more extensive connections between certain parts of his cerebral hemispheres
compared samples of 15 elderly men and 52 men Einstein's age in 1905.
