Uncommon Features of Einstein's Brain Might Explain His Remarkable Cognitive Abilities

Portions of Albert Einstein’s brain have been found to be unlike those of most people and could be related to his extraordinary cognitive abilities, according to a new study led by Florida State University evolutionary anthropologist Dean Falk.

If three rows, third from right on top row.

:{) I'm not sure if this is him or not:

[JimSEA]

A good number of “oddly shaped brains” in that photo.

[Aevery_Freeman]

We can never be certain.

(Great joke!)

[Not now, Not ever!]

Looks like he is toward the back, on the right.

Back row, third from the right, but I’m uncertain about it, looks a little fuzzy, especially the longer I look.

I knew where you were going with that just fine, until you told me where he was.

The names are at the bottom of the picture....What’s the problem

You know, a mans allowed at least one mistake; economics wasn’t his field

[Tax-chick]

I got it immediately ... good post!

[AndyJackson]

half of those guys have a number, constant, law or theory bearing their name.

ALL those guys have a number, constant, law or theory bearing their name.

Very colorful and diverse crowd. I feel that since this overwhelmingly promotes middle aged white guys, all credit should be taken from them in any new history book and given to the disenfranchised minorities. It should now be called Pancho’s Theory of Relativity and Kwame Coil to name but a few.

Hey, that’s my uncle Warren Miller.

Look at Einstein’s right arm. He’s scratching his behind while they took the picture. Good to know that a genius has to itch, too.

A little physics humor; they are riffing on his Uncertainty Principle.

[Sacajaweau]

ahhh....I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Neither was psychology, yet everyone quotes his definition of insanity. If his definition were correct, we wouldn’t need mental hospitals—just maybe a dog for everyone and plenty of chocolate.

I have convinced myself that Einstein had either Asperger’s Syndrome or maybe was fully high-functioning autistic.

[I still care]

Wow: that’s a grouping.

Amazing how so many of those in the photo are people I teach kids about in science class. It was a golden age of science, all those folks sitting on the doorstep of the atomic age.
