Memory's Ghost: the Nature of Memory And the Strange Tale of Mr. m by Philip J. Hilts

In 1953, experimental brain surgery was performed on a young man named Henry M. It was a time when lobotomies were in fashion, and Henry's doctors believed that his epilepsy could be cured by a radical operation. Two holes were drilled into Henry's skull above his eyes and through a silver straw the hippocampus - a grayish-pink organ the size and shape of a fist - was sucked out from deep within Henry's brain. This 1995 Simon & Schuster Hardback is in Very Good condition.
