Boogers in the Brain

Einstein’s Brain. It weighs 2.7 pounds, while the average non Einsteinian male brain weighs a measly 3.1 pounds. Wait…that’s more! Oh, and Einstein also had a thinner cortex, the squiggly part of our brain known to underlie some of our fanciest cognitive powers! Say wha?! Yes, yes, it seems bigger isn’t always better -at least when it comes to this organ.  {On: Discovery Magazine}
