Was Einstein's Brain Different?
Of course it was-people's brains are as different as their faces. In
his lifetime many wondered if there was anything especially different
in Einstein's. He insisted that on his death his brain be made
available for research. When Einstein died in 1955, pathologist Thomas
Harvey quickly preserved the brain and made samples and sections. He
reported that he could see nothing unusual. The variations were within
the range of normal human variations. There the matter rested until
1999. Inspecting samples that Harvey had carefully preserved, Sandra
F. Witelson and colleagues discovered that Einstein's brain lacked a
particular small wrinkle (the parietal operculum) that most people
have. Perhaps in compensation, other regions on each side were a bit
enlarged-the inferior parietal lobes. These regions are known to have
something to do with visual imagery and mathematical thinking. Thus
Einstein was apparently better equipped than most people for a certain
type of thinking. Yet others of his day were probably at least as well
equipped -Henri Poincaré and David Hilbert, for example, were
formidable visual and mathematical thinkers, both were on the trail of
relativity, yet Einstein got far ahead of them. What he did with his
brain depended on the nurturing of family and friends, a solid German
and Swiss education, and his own bold personality.

Can't read nothing about "Double-YY" and "third brain" here.
BTW: The "frequency" is about 1 in 1000 men, not one in 30 million.
