Upon Albert Einstein’s death in 1955, his brain was preserved and divided into several sections but has never been studied. In Finding Einstein’s Brain (Rutgers University Press) Fredrick E. Lepore ’71 tracks down the specimens, some of which are unaccounted for, while also delving into larger issues around neuroscience, philosophy, and medicine.
