Operculum (brain) insula. This process is called opercularization. Opinions differ on whether Albert Einstein’s brain possessed parietal opercula. Falk, et al. claim that the brain actually did have parietal opercula, while Witelson et al. claim that it did not. Einstein's lower parietal lobe (which is involved in mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition and imagery of movement) was 15% larger than average. Figure 9 of Falk 2013 is a photograph of Einstein's right insula after removal of the operculum.
