Hi This little vignette of HM, Scoville, & Milner does suggest that Scoville was a risk taker, although admittedly HM's seizures were quite bad.

New research suggests that the brain damage caused HM to lose his memory was a "medical mistake" driven by the surgeon's incorrect beliefs about brain structure and function. One popular media account of the research article is available here: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuroskeptic/2015/03/05/neurosciences-famous-amnesiac-hm-victim-of-medical-error/#.VPk0TY47xNt I am having some difficulty accessing the original research article so, here's the reference: Mauguière, F., & Corkin, S. (2015). HM never again! An analysis of HM's epilepsy and treatment. Revue Neurologique. and here's the article on the publisher's website behind a paywall: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0035378715000260 Just might change the story about HM a little bit. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
