Albert Einstein’s brain was taken from his body during an autopsy hours after his death, going against his and his family’s wishes.
His brain was taken by pathologist Thomas Harvey MD
And carved it into 240 blocks, which were then dissected further into 1,000 slides.
Harvey eventually received permission from Einstein’s family to analyse the brain for scientific research

The brain lacks a part called the Sylvian fissure
