- The finding, appearing in tomorrow's issue of The Lancet, is based on measurements showing that Einstein's parietal lobes, which sit roughly behind the ears on both sides of the brain, are unusually large. As a result, his brain is about 15% wider than that of most people and, rather than being egg-shaped, it's almost perfectly round.
