Hmmm interesting for scientists but what about his life, nobody seemed to care about his life. It's incredible how people just congratulate themselves and forget him.
Does anyone know where we can see video of him? I remember when I was young watching a documentary about him with video of him being asked questions. Can't seem to find anything anywhere now. Only second hand information like this (as much as I appreciate it)! I love the Milner and Scoville's paper and the many others that have been written over the years relating to the case or hippocampal damage cases. But it would be really helpful if people could observe for themselves. For example, the original paper was written in a time where we really lacked a lot of the fundamental understandings to interpret what was going on. None of the papers really elaborate on observations or have a lot of detail, but are really more focused on the researcher's insights and interpretations. For example, even when I was a kid I noticed that HM's thought process seemed to periodically stop at which point he would forget what he was talking about. The context seemed singular and it didn't seem like he forgot bits and pieces continuously, but rather retained context until some point and in some kind of refresh process lost it all at once (which we all also seem to do, only we can pick up where we left off seamlessly). Those "what was I talking about again" moments. Like the cognitive context is focused around only the salient aspects required to perform some cognitive action while the larger context including the cognitively incompatible elements are buffered in hipp for intermittent cognitive navigation processes and recall, representing a multi-stage cognitive process that includes processing chunks and buffering back and forth, which is probably inline with mainstream cognitive neuroscience. But even if I'm completely wrong here, I only give it as an example of the potential for even layman like myself being able to derive such value from observation rather than having to digest someone else's observation and conclusion which necessarily exclude the aspects researcher considered to be of low value. I'm sure when we include qualified researchers who actually know what they're talking about, I'm sure there would be so much value if more source material from research was publically available. Or if anyone knows where the original video can be found I would greatly appreciate it 🙏
I am sorry he passed away. I agree with some other comments here that scientists and doctors don't really care about the people themselves. Cure or alter the disease to make it liveable and move on. Sad.
Wow, Yeah Yeah Scientists and Doctors have magical cures and they're just withholding all that information to just "cure or alter the disease to make it liveable" because they do not care about people themselves because after all Doctors and Scientists aren't people themselves now, are they? no they're just evil monsters, every single one of them. /s
I’m officially old because because I remember a time when everybody would have burst out laughing if someone would have shown up for a serious talk wearing a clown wig.
I came to this vid after being fascinated by Patient HM and after watching other vids about him and reading articles. All say he didn't have any seizures from epilepsy anymore, the epilepsy was cured. Yet you say that isn't true. Where did you read this? Do you have a source?

You're right, it's pretty Ironic how they are the ones who forget about HM.
maybe HM's family didn't want to disclose his personal life to the public.
The hippocampus was the pathway....and the pathway was removed so no new memory could be stored in his brain.
How did he form new procedural memories?
The patient hm book goes hard I loved it is recommend reading the history of physcosurgery in Denmark afterwards

50 first dates.
Andy Pandy just came from there, i didn’t write any notes about that topic
I’m reading the book. I found it at the dollar store.
Wouldn't be good if you were studying for a test.
That is a very handsome picture of him. If he is alive, could we see a real photo of him now? Or at least an age progressed picture?

@@Batman.- that doesn't work.
@@patriciajrs46 works for me, all it does is take you to where it says he passed away
I really wish i got 2 meet HM
you might have and he forgot :O
Where can I find the full discussion?
Thanks
Does he remember questions you ask him 1 min ago?

Here after book the power of habit
Please what is the name of the scientist that interrogated HM's memory...?
she said it.. Sue Korkin
I shop at HM, H & M!!!!
All these professionals and no one can figure out anxiety? 😡😡😡
The guy with the pink hair looks very unprofessional.
@@neurofuzzyricecooker Looks like an idiot.
Lol you can't judge professionalism on hair 😅

It didnt cure his epilepsy they just didnt talk about it

Did he experience fear bcause they also took out his amygdala.
Because they took it out he wouldn’t have experienced fear. No amygdala means no fear or anger
