Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NMHMEB_190331_01.JPG: What Can we Learn from a Brain?
2. NMHMEB_190331_10.JPG: "Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking." -- Albert Einstein
3. NMHMEB_190331_21.JPG: Dr. Harvey's Story: Thomas Stoltz Harvey, MD (1912-2007) was a pathologist most well-known for conducting the autopsy on Albert Einstein in 1955 and acting as custodian of Einstein's brain for more than 50 years, during which time he shared the material with prominent neuroscientists. Using methods conventional for the time, Harvey sectioned a large portion of Einstein's preserved brain and created histological slides, which allowed the tissue to be seen through a microscope. As a result, Harvey's possession, histological processing, and allocation of the tissue were the source of numerous publications and media coverage. During his lifetime, Harvey distributed the Einstein slides to leading researchers and retained two complete sets. He later donated the remaining, uncut portion of Einstein's brain to colleagues in Princeton, New Jersey. Several years after his death in 2007, Harvey's estate donated his slides and related archival material to the National Museum of Health and Medicine.
4. NMHMEB_190331_30.JPG: Posterior view of brain, with labels added by Harvey. This photograph was used as a template for the annotated tracing to the right.
5. NMHMEB_190331_35.JPG: Posterior view of brain, with left and right occipital regions noted. Blocks 182-189 marked in red pencil; blocks 172-178 in blue; and 179-181 in green
6. NMHMEB_190331_39.JPG: Historical slides of Einstein brain tissue, using myelin staining method. Each slide is numbered and corresponds to a section of the brain, as noted by Harvey on his photographs and drawings.
7. NMHMEB_190331_60.JPG: "I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious." -- Albert Einstein

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
