The brain of Albert Einstein 🧠

It was removed within seven and a half hours of his death in 1955, by Pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey. Harvey removed and weighed the brain at 1230g, which is less than the average adult male brain (about 1,400 grams). It was then taken to a lab at the University Of Pennsylvania, and dissected into several pieces for further research.

Einstein's brain had a much shorter lateral sulcus that was partially missing. His brain was also 15% wider than the other brains. The thickness of Einstein's cerebral cortex was thinner than the other brains. However, the DENSITY of neurons in Einstein's brain was greater. In other words, Einstein was able to pack more neurons in a given area of cortex. The researchers think that these unique brain characteristics may have allowed better connections between neurons important for math and spatial reasoning.

Polarization of light is a property of light, resulting in the vectors of electric and magnetic fields of light waves are oriented in a plane parallel to the plane in which light propagates.

It occurs when light is refracted, reflected, or passes through an anisotropic medium.

Fluoroscopy of a Dog Eating Food 🐕

Radiography or X-ray and fluoroscopy procedures seem similar. However, fluoroscopy obtains moving images of the inner part of the body and radiography uses gamma rays to develop a static image of the internal structure of a body. We can compare X-ray to a black and white photograph and fluoroscopy to a black and white animation.
