Episode Synopsis

Send us a textEpisode 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.If you would like to about Patient H.M. and what was learned by studying his brain, check out this article here: Nature Communications, 2014.Connect with Jennifer!IG: @autobiologywithjenniferWebsite: https://autobiology.net/Autobiology Bits Podcast on AppleAutobiology Bits Podcast on GoogleAbout JenniferI am a successful medical writer having worked in the field of molecular biology, immunology research, and pharmaceutical sales training, bringing my knowledge of these topics to you so you can learn how to become an expert on your own biology.
