Yes, of course. After Einstein's death on April 18, 1955, Thomas Harvey, a pathologist at Princeton Hospital, performed an autopsy on Einstein's body. During the autopsy, Harvey removed Einstein's brain without the family's permission, which was highly controversial. Harvey claimed that he did this to study the structure of Einstein's brain in the hopes of discovering what made him so intelligent.

After the brain was removed, Harvey preserved it in a formaldehyde solution and then cut it into small pieces to send to various researchers for analysis. The brain was not kept intact as a whole. Over the years, different researchers conducted studies on the brain, looking for anatomical differences that might explain Einstein's genius. Some studies suggested that Einstein's brain had more glial cells than average, which led to speculation that these cells might have played a role in his extraordinary cognitive abilities.

After Harvey's death in 2007, his heirs donated the remaining pieces of Einstein's brain to the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Maryland, where they are currently stored.
