Patient H.M.

But it was a catastrophic failure, leaving Henry unable to create long-term memories. Scoville's grandson, Luke Dittrich, takes us on an astonishing journey through the history of neuroscience, from the first brain surgeries in ancient Egypt to the New England asylum where his grandfather developed a taste for human experimentation.

Dar a fost un esec catastrofal, lasandu-l pe Henry incapabil sa-si creeze amintiri pe termen lung. Nepotul lui Scoville, Luke Dittrich, ne poarta intr-o calatorie uimitoare prin istoria neurostiintei, de la primele operatii pe creier din Egiptul antic pana la azilul din New England, unde bunicul sau a dezvoltat gustul pentru experimentarea umana.
