Question

　　Famous scientist Albert Einstein died in 1955．His brain now is in the central state of Kansas of the United States．It belongs to retired（退休的） medical doctor Thomas Harvey．How did this happen? And why?

　　The story began in the 1950s．Albert Einstein and Thomas Harvey knew each other when both lived in the Princeton Hospital．When Einstein died Doctor Harvey was called on to examine his body．It was then that he started to study what has become a long time examination of Einstein's brain．His goal was to discover some physical evidence（证据） of the scientist's genius（天赋）．Doctor Harvey， however， did not tell Einstein's family that he kept the great man's brain．It was only later that the family learned of Doctor Harvey's work．They did not like the idea at first．After Doctor Harvey explained his idea to them， they agreed to permit him to study the brain．

　　Doctor Harvey then asked two other scientists to help．They cut the brain into 3 pieces．They marked each piece before placing it in containers with chemical formaldehyde （甲醛） to protect it．They also prepared several extremely tiny pieces of the brain for study．Doctor Harvey has been studying Einstein's brain since then．He has carried it with him as he moved from job to job and from place to place．He has also lent parts of the brain to other scientists for study．

　　Only one researcher has found something．A doctor at the University California found that the left part of Einstein's brain has more certain cells than normal．Such cells are known to feed the brain．She said this may mean that the cells could affect intelligence （智商）．Doctor Harvey says he does not think Einstein would mind the research．After all Einstein was a scientist．
