Einstein`s brain

During his life, Albert Einstein made some of the world`s greatest scientific discoveries. However, the location of his brain, which was controversially removed by the pathologist Dr Thomas Harvey upon Einstein`s death in 1955, remained a mystery for years. A new TV series, co-presented by UCL`s Dr Mark Lythgoe and physicist Dr Jim Al-Khalili, uncovers the odyssey of Einstein`s brain in order to understand whether a person`s brain, even after death, can reveal the truth behind their genius.
