Einstein's brain has 73% more matter than an average person! Scientists reveal the secret of a smart brain

When you mention the word "genius", who immediately comes to your mind? Maybe everyone, like me, first thinks of Einstein! Einstein is a very representative figure in the development of modern physics. He was born in a Jewish family. Jews have always been smart, which is also the idea we have reached a consensus on by default.

Einstein won the Nobel Prize, proposed theories such as the theory of relativity, and was named the "Great Man of the Century". The IQ of an average person is about 115, and those who can be called "geniuses" generally have an IQ of more than 140. Einstein's IQ is 165. So, as a "top genius", is there anything special about Einstein's brain compared to ordinary people? If ordinary people want to become smarter, can they find the answer from here? Therefore, people have launched a series of studies on his smart brain.

Scientific research shows that Einstein's brain has 73% more matter than the average person.

In the early morning of April 18, 1955, Einstein died, and his brain was completely removed and preserved in formalin solution. Scientists have conducted a series of studies on this smart brain.

Paul Anderson, a professor of neurology at the University of Alabama, discovered after more than ten years of research that the average man's brain weighs about 1,400 grams, while Einstein's brain weighs only 1,230 grams. In comparison, he found that Einstein's cerebral cortex was thinner than that of ordinary people, so it was lighter, thus proposing the term "light brain".

We all know that the wider the distribution of brain neurons in the human body, the greater the brain volume and memory storage. Anderson believes that Einstein's brain nerve cell density is higher than that of ordinary people, the brain's memory conduction speed is faster, the thinking ability is stronger, and the brain operates more efficiently.

In 1985, Dr. Marian Diamond, a professor of neurology at the University of California, Berkeley, published her own research after many studies, revealing the mystery of Einstein's parietal lobe. She compared Einstein's brain slices with those of 11 ordinary people and found that the ratio of Einstein's brain nerve cell tissue to neurons in the left parietal lobe was 73% more than that of ordinary people. Therefore, IQ has nothing to do with the size of the brain, but is closely related to the number of nerve cell tissues in the brain and the complexity of the occurrence of axons and neurons.

Under the research of scientists, the secrets hidden in Einstein's brain are constantly being revealed. Perhaps in the near future, the human brain can be further developed and become intelligent. However, in my opinion, whether a person is smart or not depends largely on the activity of the brain. People with high brain activity can think about problems from multiple angles. Therefore, if you think more, you will be smarter than others. What do you think about this? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
