Thomas Harvey

He started out by photographing his intact noodle then he began slicing his brain up into 240 pieces.The leftover pieces of his brain he put into three separate jars and had put them in his basement.
How he croaked
- He died from a burst artery
- The main artery of the heart,which leads to the stomach,stretched out and started to leak which caused him to die.
- After he died a guy name Thomas Harvey took his brain home to do more studies on it.
- He photographed Einsteins intact noodle and then he started slicing his brain into 240 pieces.
- He embedded the slices on a microscope slide, After that he put all the leftover pieces of his brain into three separate jars.
- he still couldn't figure it out he had no clew on how to study his brain nor could he find someone to do it for him. Eventually he found someone that would do it her name was Sandra Witelson.
- Sandra witelson found out that Einsteins inferior pariental region, the area associated with visual and spatial reasoning, was 15 percent larger than normal and that he didnt have a sylvian fissure which is a particular crevice that a regular person have.
