Guest guest Posted June 19, 1999 Report Share Posted June 19, 1999 Dear friends, Below find an interesting piece of information. *** Einstein's brain deemed wider *** LONDON (AP) - We always suspected something must have made Albert Einstein smarter than the rest of us. Now scientists have found one part of his brain was indeed physically extraordinary. In the only study ever conducted of the overall anatomy of Einstein's brain, scientists at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, discovered that the part of the brain thought to be related to mathematical reasoning - the inferior parietal region - was 15% wider on both sides than normal. Furthermore, they found the groove that normally runs from the front of the brain to the back did not extend all the way in Einstein's case. That finding could have applications even to those with more pedestrian levels of intelligence. *** Is it possible that the mystics/saints/sages/prophets also inherit such changed and developed brain structure thought to be related to spiritual expression! And indeed, it is quite possible that with intense, regular and prescribed spiritual practice - sadhana - we may also become capable of effecting changes in our brain anatomy conducive for our spiritual growth and progress! dr c s shah -- ==================================== E-magazine on science and spirituality.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 1999 Report Share Posted June 21, 1999 It is my understanding that women in general do not have the separation in their brain lobes that men have. Anyone out there a specialist on this? edtipple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
