In 1953, Henry Molaison received an experimental operation. The procedure, intended to treat epilepsy, destroyed most of the deep-seated structures in Henry's #brain, leaving him profoundly amnesiac, unable to hold on to the present for more than 30 seconds or so. That outcome, devastating to Henry, was a boon to science: By 1986, Patient H.M., as he was called, had become arguably the most important human research subject of all time. Of course, Henry didn’t know that. No matter how many times the scientists told him he was famous, he’d always forget. Meanwhile, they kept even his first name a closely guarded secret and didn’t reveal it until after his death, when it was unveiled in a front-page @ニューヨーク・タイムズ obituary. This week, @nytmag explores the untold story of the fight over H.M.’s legacy. The photographer @spencer_lowell took this picture of Henry’s brain in a lab at @ucsandiego in 2009, a year after Henry died. It was later sliced into 2,401 pieces.
