Patient H.M.
A Story of Memory, Madness, and Family Secrets
Luke Dittrich
The book delves into the true story of Henry Molaison, an amnesiac who became one of the most studied human research subjects after a brain surgery left him unable to form new memories. It also explores the ethical dimensions of scientific research and the personal and familial impact of Molaison's condition, as uncovered by the author, whose grandfather was the surgeon who operated on Molaison.
