What was the size of Albert Einsteins brain?
A second paper describing Einstein’s brain was published in 1996. Einstein’s brain weighed only 1,230 grams, which is far less than the average adult male brain (about 1,400 grams). The authors also reported that the thickness of Einstein’s cerebral cortex (area 9) was thinner than that of five control 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.
