Einstein Prefrontal Cortex And Sleep Apnea

Alen J Salerian MD

February 27, 2015

  There is so much to learn from Einstein's brain. 
  Thank God it has been preserved. 
  We know for instance that his brain weight was average. We also know that his prefrontal cortex in particular and various cortical regions were much larger due to unusual folds.  Is this what blessed   Einstein with  greater actual PFX power?

  There is a  little-known known Einstein  observation not documented medically. Einstein was tempermental . He seemed easily angered by his wife . They were divorced after a nasty and well-publicized divorce.  Einstein was also known for irregular sleep patterns, insomnia and frequent daily naps. All these symptoms  are consistent with sleep apnea. 
 Did Einstein snore?  My educated guess is he suffered from sleep apnea..

   I have no doubt that the folds on his brain and his prefrontal cortex have been our  magnificent gift.
