Einstein's brain

[mnee...@gmail.com]

We have a question.
Is anything known about the size of Einstein's brain? I have heard
that it was smaller than they expected. True or False

[Tim Cannon]

Here's a Wiki entry on Einstein's brain. There have been some recent
interesting findings about it in relation to glial cells. I heard a
talk given by the scientist who did that research - it was very
interesting! Her work is referenced here:

Dr.Cannon,

I am attaching a picture of part of the Chichester group. We were missing some students today. Sorry.

Okay, here are a couple more questions.
Is there a part of the brain that makes colors more pleasing to look
at?
What part of the brain is effected during a seizure?
Is it true that when you hit your head that you lose 10 brain cells?

Thanks
