Subjects: Einstein, Albert, 1879-1955, Preservation of organs, tissues, etc., Brain research, Brain abnormalities, Neurophysiology, Brain anatomy, Ability, Celebrities, Ethics, History, Intellect
Abstract: The article discusses how the brain of the 20th-century physicist Albert Einstein was removed and scientifically studied after the prominent scientist's death in 1955. Topics addressed include an account of how Einstein's brain was taken against his expressed wishes, the history of preserving and studying the brains of exceptional public figures for physical abnormalities or distinctive features, and how the studying of Einstein's brain did not yield any noteworthy results.
