      Motor system can step in to help retrieve a chunk of forgotten musical notes? Would this go as deep as knowing a musical scale with a missing note, and being able to figure out what that missing note is say by singing it? Gotta look more into this.

  • and his prefrontal cortex—linked to planning, focused attention, and perseverance in the face of challenges—is also greatly expanded.
  • Albert Galaburda, a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, says that "what's great about this paper is that it puts down … the entire anatomy of Einstein's brain in great detail.
  • he study raises "very important questions for which we don't have an answer."
  • whether Einstein started off with a special brain that predisposed him to be a great physicist, or whether doing great physics caused certain parts of his brain to expand
  • "some combination of a special brain and the environment he lived in."
  • Falk agrees that both nature and nurture were probably involved
  • "he had the right brain in the right place at the right time."
