In humans the higher cognition that entails working memory, making plans, bringing plans to fruition, worrying, thinking, etc. It is an extraordinarily evolved part of the brain that is related to connections between neurons underneath the surfac of the brain.

The cientifics showed that Einstein's brain was, in fact, slightly smaller, and weighed about 200 grams less, than average, but subsequent investigations revealed several unusual features, which were, it was claimed, somehow related to his visuo-spatial skills.
