Hi

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

Our Dean of Arts, Glenn Moulaison, is actually a distant relative of HM.

Take care

Subject: [tips] Should HM Have Gotten A Second Opinion?

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.
