Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum, but sorry that I don't understand your question. Could you please try to state it more clearly?
If you mean "does the brain contain atoms that were once part of Albert Einstein?", there is a way to estimate that. But a lot of assumptions have to be made. His brain at death has been preserved somewhere so those atoms haven't gone anywhere. One can assume, however, that his brain 50 or so years before his death, when he did his greatest work, had its atoms dispersed amongst the biosphere, as cell and blood tissue gets replaced. Compute the ratio of his brain's mass to that of the biosphere (mostly atmosphere and oceans). That will be a very small number, with a big negative exponent. Use scientific notation. Then multiply that by the number of atoms in your own brain (a very big number) and see if the result is much greater than one. If it is, there is probably at least one atom of Einstein in your brain.
Do the calculation yourself and have fun with it.
