In 1953, a 27-year-old factory worker named Henry Molaison - who suffered from severe epilepsy - received a radical new version of the then-common lobotomy, targeting the most mysterious structures in the brain. The operation failed to eliminate Henry’s seizures, but it did have an unintended effect: Henry was left profoundly amnesic, unable to create long-term memories. Over the next 60 years, Patient H.M., as Henry was known, became the most studied individual in the history of neuroscience, a human guinea pig who would teach us much of what we know about memory today.

A complete picture of the history of science

Love this book! It offered such an interesting and dramatic view of the important people and events in the development of neuroscience - never a world of black or white; and it’s a continuous tug-a-war at the balance of scientific advancement and ethics. Even more striking is the data protectionism that’s told at the end of the stories.
I highly recommend it to anyone, and it could be a must-read for those working in science.
