We've always been fascinated about the concept of genius. No, I'm not going to describe everything that makes Einstein different from the rest of us, because I think you already know that.
We have all figured out that it's not really how big or how heavy our brains are, but how dense the neurons are within. It's fairly difficult to find out what makes Einstein different from the rest of us, until scientists discovered that parts of his parietal lobe were wider than most people's brains.
Mathematics and spatial reasoning areas are also the largest in Einstein's brain. His parietal lobe was nearly missing a fissure found in most people's brains. Since neurons are supposed to communicate better with the absence of fissures, scientists theorized that this is the reason why Einstein's brain analyzed information far more quickly than the rest of us.
But most of what scientists have learned about a genius are determined under controlled circumstances. In reality, analyzing the brain isn't as easy as it seems. This is because we, as human beings, keep on changing and moving. As we change, so do our brains. Also, it's hard for scientists to study our brains while we are in motion.
