Einstein was buried with his brain in 1955. Then the brain was sectioned and preserved in formaldehyde by Dr. Thomas Harvey.The brain has now been found to possess a greater number of glial cells for each neurone, suggesting that Einstein's brain needed and used more energy. As a result it may have generated more processing ability. The job of glial cells is to provide support and protection for neurones.
The density of neurones in Einstein's brain is greater, too, and the cerebral cortex is thinner than the brains to which it was compared.
But Einstein didn`t want any findings on his brain to be publicized.

Well, albert einstein was really smart in physics and mathimatics. For this reason when he died the scientists have taken out his brain to study the reasons of his sharpe intelligance, and yea the reason for him to be soo smart in maths due to his big parietal lob ( a lob in the brain that is responsible for your maths performance) and also his brain wieght was much smaller than normal but it had lots of nerves imbeded in it....

I don't think it exist anymore, Albert has been dead for many years, I don' t think they preserved it.
