Albert wan really smart because he brain was younger, even when he was a senior. It is because, he exercises his brain every day. The corpse callosum is like a wire that sends messages to the human body which is connected to the brain. People think that a brain is a mucle. Some people think that Albert is smart because he exercises his brain everyday. But, some people think that his corpse callosum is bigger that usual.

I was surprised at the part when the scientist found out that some people stole a part of Albert's brain. I felt bad for them😞😞😞

Based on the context clues I think that the corpus callusom is a machine in your brain that sends messages also I thought that enstin was artificially smart turns out he is actually nattrualy smart

I also think that if you exersize your brai a lot then it will reduce the chance of brain illnesses like Alzheimer's Disease since einsine is brain exersized a lot then he invented and descoverd a lot of stuff

I think he was so gifted that the high school staff decided that he was too smart to learn, so he was sent out of high school, and went to college.

The central idea of this article is that Albert Einstein was smarter than any human being because he exercised his brain daily and had a bigger corpus callosum than any human being back than when the scientists studied his brain and when Dr. Thomas Harvey took out his brain when Albert Einstein . The corpus callosum is the inner part of the brain and that is the part that helps the two parts of the brain communicate . In the article it says that the corpus callosum is like bits of electricity wires ,but instead of electricity is messages that goes around the brain .

some of those slides still exist but many have been lost or stolen this meant scientists didn't have a complete picture of einsteins brain that made it hard for scientists to find a reason for einsteins genius

The central idea is that scientests are finding how Einstenin's brian works.A corpus callosum is made up of neural fibers.

The central idea of this passage is about Albert Entiseten and his smartness and his brain . Albert Entenien was very smart. I think with using my context clues , I think corpus callosum means a part of a person brain. that helps you think .

I don't like the reason that people take his brain and use it for study and remove it. I wonder were they put his brain ?

The central idea is about Albert Einstein because it is evidence from the article . The scientist studied Albert Einstein . The scientist looked in Albert Einsteins brain . The people drew a picture , and the picture is completed about Alberts brain . That word means that it is made up of neural fibers . Albert died in 1955 . Albert got kicked out of school .

The corpus callosum carries electrical signals that goes in the half of the brain. It makes the brain work together in different ways. The corpus callosum is made up of nueral fibers. The nueral fibers carry messages from the brain.

The central idea is that Albert Einstein was a very smart man and was very smart man and he was a geinus.He had a big brain.He exercised his brain ofthen.He had a thicker brain more from people his age.A corpse callosum is made up of neural fiber.

the main idea is that sciencetest are studying albert instine brain. the twist Is that it is kind of hard to study it. also is that alberts brain is 5 times bigger than a average mans brain.

The main idea of the article is that Einstein kept his brain so young. He exercised his brain. I think corpus callosum means the main part of the brain. Also, I think it is the thinking part of the brain.

The central main idea of this article Elbert was the first person the word genus and that one scientist removed his brain to sell it. For example he died in 1955. They put it somewhere to kept it safe. Corpus callosum is made up of neural fibers.

The main idea is that Albert Einstein had a big, younger-looking brain because he exercised his brain a lot. He had a huge corpus callosum, a part of the brain that sends messages through the brain. Since it was big, Einstein was smarter. The splenium was also large, making Einstein increase his spatial thinking and mathematical ability. Neuroscientists are still finding the truth about the brain of that very very mad genius.

The central idea is that Albert Einstein was the smartest person about his brain. It works really fast than our brain. The scientist have part of Albert Einstein's brain. He died in 1995 and removed his brain. The word corpus callosum is made up of neural fibers. These are bit like electrical wires. The corpus callosum runs the length of the brain, right down the middle. These are known as cerebral hemisphere.

The central idea is about Einstein brain. The corpus callosum is the important part of Einstein body. It's a thing that can think.

The centrel idea is that scientist studieed alberts einstiens brain and found out that his brain is bigger than a normal persons brain. A corpos callosom runs the lenth of the brain. Einstein was probbanly a guiniouss besause of this.

The corpas callosum is a main part of the brain and it probably is the best part but I think many people don't have it. I guess some people when they are born sometimes might have it.

I think copus callousum means using context clues means an elertic wire in his brain.
