Question

Certain unusual aspects of brain structure were observed in the brain of Albert Einstein. One interpretation is that he was born with certain differences in his cortex from others that encouraged his scientific and intellectual abilities. What do you think of this explanation and what do you think could be an alternative interpretation

Answer 1

It seems a plausible inference. An alternative hypothesis is one in which this anatomical difference is present in low population frequency, thereby further scientific observations are needed to confirm (or reject) this hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert Einstein's brain exhibited an unusual anatomical conformation in the prefrontal cortex. Intriguingly, this brain area is involved in abstract thinking, thereby it has been suggested that the amazing cognitive capacities of Einstein may be due to his prefrontal cortex. A way to test this hypothesis is by an observational study with the aim at determining if this feature is exclusive of Einstein's brain.
