Einstein's brain was different, finds new study

A new study suggests that unusually well-connected hemispheres in Einstein's brain could have sparked off his brilliance. The study, co-authored by anthropologist Dean Falk and physicist Weiwei Men, shows that Einstein had a thicker corpus callosum (fibers between the cerebral hemispheres) compared to that of fifteen elderly and 52 younger men from 1905, the 'miracle year' of Einstein's scientific contributions.
