Annette, thank you for the offer but
(1) I was able to get a copy of the article through NYU. When
I first tried to get the article from off-campus, I couldn't get
through (which happens with some publishers) but tried
again later and got through. Must have been a phase of the
moon system error. ;-)
(2) Only the abstract is written in French. There is an English
abstract and the rest of the paper is in English.
I've read through the paper once and I'm frankly surprised
by what Scoville did if Mauguiere & Corkin are correct.
I recommend the article to others and I'll be interested in
how this might change our perception of Scoville role
in the history of neuroscience.

Subject: 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.
