Episode 23. In this episode, I will introduce you to Patient H.M.—as he was known for 50 years. His real name is Henry Molaison, which was revealed after his death in 2008. In 1953, Henry underwent experimental surgery to correct his epilepsy—which was cured—but with devastating consequences.

*Podcast correction, the lesion in the frontal lobe was discovered after his death from reviewing the tissue sections, not from the MRI. It was caused by the original surgery.
