In Memory of H.M.

The irony is built into the title.

As a neuroscience and A.I. student, I too have researched the significance of the mind of Henry Gustav Molaison (H.M.). He is the source reference for both of the characters of Leonard and Sammy Jenkins in the movie Memento. He is by no means the only person who has experienced this particular type of brain damage, but he is the most documented.

H.M., Phineas Gage, and patients who have undergone corpus callosum separation are to me perhaps THE most important patients so far in the history of neuroscience.

So, needless to say, this news absolutely rocks in my world view of things.

*Oooooh, that's a nice bumper kit - wish mine had that. As is, I'll be adding a rear spoiler, roof wind guard and pinstripes shortly. I might save up for some more exterior features, but for now, I'm out of monies.

Chili made with bison meat - my dad is awesome.

The Jungle Book

I'm introducing my nephews to some good, classic movies. They have access to the movies of today, but there's more to life and the big screen than just fancy CGI.

Tonight's feature: The Jungle Book (1942)

No, it's not Disney animation.
