Einstein  is in the front row, second from right. He did well only in mathematics and in  Latin (whose logic he admired). Was Einstein's Brain Different? Of course it was-people's brains are as different as  their faces. In his lifetime many wondered if there was anything especially  different in Einstein's. He insisted that on his death his brain be made  available for research. When Einstein died in 1955, pathologist Thomas Harvey  quickly preserved the brain and made samples and sections. He reported that he  could see nothing unusual. The variations were within the range of normal human  variations. There the matter rested until 1999. Inspecting samples that Harvey  had carefully preserved, Sandra F. Witelson and colleagues discovered that  Einstein's brain lacked a particular small wrinkle (the parietal operculum) that  most people have. Perhaps in compensation, other regions on each side were a bit  enlarged-the inferior parietal lobes. These regions are known to have something  to do with visual imagery and mathematical thinking. Thus Einstein was  apparently better equipped than most people for a certain type of thinking. Yet  others of his day were probably at least as well equipped-Henri Poincaré and  David Hilbert, for example, were formidable visual and mathematical thinkers,  both were on the trail of relativity, yet Einstein got far ahead of them. What  he did with his brain depended on the nurturing of family and friends, a solid  German and Swiss education, and his own bold personality. A late bloomer:  Even at the age of nine Einstein spoke hesitantly, and his parents feared that  he was below average intelligence. Did he have a learning or personality  disability (such as "Asperger's syndrome," a mild form of autism)? There is not  enough historical evidence to say. Probably Albert was simply a thoughtful and  somewhat shy child. If he had some difficulties in school, the problem was  probably resistance to the authoritarian German teachers, perhaps compounded by  the awkward situation of a Jewish boy in a Catholic school.
