He has been one of the main subjects for researchers today and has provided scientists much more knowledge about the human brain and memory (Newhouse‚ 2007). “The early studies of H.M. provide a basis for modern neuropsychology‚ and the findings of those who have studied him are today a cornerstone in memory research” (Costandi‚ 2007). H.M. was born in Hartford

In particular‚ Scoville’s (1954) famous case study of H.M. indicated the role of the medial temporal lobe in episodic memory after H.M. showed severe anterograde and moderate temporally graded retrograde amnesia (upto 7 years) following surgical bilateral removal of this area aimed at curing his epileptic seizures. The deficit was specific to declarative memory – e.g. H.M. could still learn new procedural skills (non-declarative). (Hippocampus) Subsequently
