After Albert Einstein's death in 1955, a pathologist named Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein's brain during the autopsy without permission from his family. Harvey preserved the brain and later claimed to have studied it extensively, though the results and impact of his research remain controversial and inconclusive.
According to sources Einstein's brain was removed within seven hours of his death and within next 24 hours this was declared that he used 14% oh his brain and he is first on earth to do so. This has since been found to be a complete fallacy.
