In this episode, I explore the intriguing condition of amnesia, the isolated loss of memory with the preservation of other cognitive disorders. I use remarkable patient anecdotes, such as those of musician Clive Wearing, and of Jimmie G, a patient of neurologist Oliver Sacks, to illustrate the diverse causes of amnesia, from herpes virus encephalitis to chronic alcoholism. I also narrate the clinical spectrum of amnesia with an emphasis on Korsakoff's syndrome and transient global amnesia or TGA. The podcast also goes back in time to review the case of Henry Molaison, the man whose profound amnesia, the consequence of experimental surgery for epilepsy, opened the way to our understanding of how memory works.

Today we are re-releasing an episode we did last year with Stanford neurobiologist Lisa Giocomo exploring the intersection of memory, navigation and the boundaries we create between ourselves and the world around us.This episode was inspired by the idea of memory palaces. The idea is simple: Take a place you're very familiar with, say the house you grew up in, and place information you want to remember in different locations within that space. When it's time to remember those things, you can mentally walk through that space and retrieve those items.This ancient technique reveals something very fundamental about how our brains work. It turns out that the same parts of the brain are responsible both for memory and for navigating through the world.Scientists are learning more and more about these systems and the connections between them, and it's revealing surprising insights about how we build the narrative of our lives, how we turn our environments into an internal model of who we are, and where we fit into the world.Join us to learn more about the neuroscience of space and memory.Before we get into this week's episode, we have a favor to ask.

In 1933, a seven year old boy named Henry Molaison was knocked down by a passing bicycle. Shortly after, he started getting seizures. To fix the seizures, Henry underwent experimental brain surgery. Unfortunately, the procedure left him with amnesia from which he would never recover. Henry's tragedy was a critical turning point for brain science and helped us discover the complex functions of learning and memory. Today, there is still much that we don't know about memory, but there is exciting research underway exploring how damaged memories can be repaired and even how painful memories might, one day, be erased.

UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-0"));Hej kära läsare Så har ännu en vecka susat förbi med vårvindarna och det är inte långt kvar till skolavslutningarna. Vill därför börja med att tala om att jag har fått två platser tillgängliga för personlig coaching med mig. Start direkt efter sommaren i mitten av augusti eller september. Det löper därefter över 1 år eller 6 månader och ger stora resultat för alla livets delar. Känner du att det är något för dig så ta kontakt med mig på anders@lifevision.se så hittar vi en tid för ett samtal om hur jag kan hjälpa dig på bästa sätt. Endast seriösa förfrågningar då det också handlar om en seriös investering av både tid och pengar. Veckans coachbrev inspirerades av att någon sa att det gäller att jobba och träna på att vara i nuet. Det fick mig att fundera på om det verkligen ska vara jobbigt och dessutom om det vore bra att alltid vara det? Varför skulle vi få förmågan att föreställa oss andra platser och tider om det inte fanns ett värde i det? Tror att du gillar vad du får ut av brevet nedan så scrolla ner, läs och kom ihåg att … Ditt liv är ett mästerverk, Anders Haglund Nothing found. UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-1"));Veckans citat ”Din syn klarnar först när du kan blicka in i ditt eget hjärta. Den som tittar på utsidan, drömmer. Den som tittar inåt, vaknar.”- Carl Jung UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-2")); UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-3"));Sluta kämpa med dig själv!UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-4"));Lev i nuet. Släpp alla tankar på det förflutna och framtiden och ägna dig åt det du ska i stunden. Aldrig har det väl varit så populärt att tala om för människor att de ska leva i nuet. Att vara ”närvarande och härvarande”. Låta bli att hålla på och gå tillbaka till vare sig gamla eller nya minnen eller att föreställa sig framtida händelser, orosmoment och annat som förmodligen ändå inte kommer att inträffa. Men att på det här sättet ha all sin upplevelse fokuserad på nuet är förmodligen inte riktig så fantastiskt som det beskrivs. För inte nog med att vi ändå inte har något större val på att leva i nuet och på den lokala plats vi för tillfället befinner oss. Det är ju det enda vi har. Allt vi kan göra är att via våra tankar skapa en personlig upplevelse av att vara någon annanstans. En kreativ, fantasifull och hallucinatorisk förmåga som hjälper oss bra mycket mer än det stjälper oss. Kanske illustreras det här bäst av det märkliga fallet med Henry Molaison. I tidiga tonåren var hans epileptiska anfall så svåra att han inte hade något liv. Läkarna var rådlösa och till slut togs beslutet att göra en omstridd hjärnoperation. Den bestod i att man avlägsnade Hippocampus på båda sidor. Efter patientens uppvaknande var det spänd väntan som snart löstes upp då det visade sig att epilepsin var ett minne blott. Champagnen var på väg att korkas upp av forskarteamet när man plötsligt upptäckte att Henry inte längre kunde forma några minnen. Det gav ett genombrott i att förstå vad Hippocampus gjorde men för Henry var det givetvis märkligt att bli av med hela sitt förflutna och alla framtida minnen. Ytterligare försvårat blev det av att det visar sig att samma del som formar vårt förflutna även används för att fundera på och projicera framtiden. Henry blev därmed permanent fast i nuet oförmögen att svara på frågor om vare sig dåtid eller framtid. Ej heller kunde han känna igen människor som han träffat utan varje möte som var som det första. Samma med fakta och kunskaper. Allt var nytt och fräscht för honom och det blev snabbt ”gammalt” för alla inblandade. Däremot fanns alla motoriska minnen kvar och han kunde utföra allt som han innan kunde. På detta sätt levde han de sista 55 åren av sitt liv. Det verkar med andra ord finnas en stor evolutionär fördel med att neuroplastiskt form...

Inside the Breakthrough - How Science Comes to Life

We've all heard the saying about “the best laid plans….” but there is a caveat to that. Not all unexpected consequences are bad. Sometimes something really amazing occurs unexpectedly.This episode tells the story of Henry Molaison, better known as Patient HM, or “the most important brain in the history of neuroscience.” Henry didn't set out to be a guiding light for the world of neuroanatomy. He just wanted a cure for his epilepsy. But what happened to him and the impact he had on the world is a story that needs to be told.We will also hunt for cobras in India, and try to explain why that plan backfired.Dr Seema Nagpal from Diabetes Canada will join us to explain the often unseen impact diabetes has on people, and to offer some thought on what the consequences of a cure might be.These science stories from history help shed light on the modern research being done on Type 2 Diabetes. Specifically, we highlight the work of SciMar as they examine the hormone hepatalin and the effect it has on glucose levels in people who are living with type 2 diabetes. www.SciMar.ca

Even as recently as the early 1950s, we didn't understand that there were different types of memory, or how the brain processed and stored memories. Then, in 1953, a radical surgery by a reckless doctor gave us tremendous insights into how human memory works. Those scientific gains came at a terrible cost, however. The surgery left the patient, Henry Molaison, a profound amnesiac -- completely incapable of forming new memories.

Henry Molaison's amnesia was the result of a highly risky "psychosurgical" procedure, an operation designed to cure the debilitating epilepsy he had suffered since childhood. In an attempt to remove the part of th e brain that was causing Henry's fits, two holes were drilled in the front of his skull and a portion of his brain, the front half of the hippocampus on both sides, and most of the almond-shaped amygdala, was sucked out. The procedure, hopeful at best, went badly wrong and Henry, then aged 27, was left with no ability to store or retrieve new experiences. He lived the subsequent 55 years of his life, until his death in 2008, in the permanent present moment.

Wykład dr. Rafała Czajkowskiego, Kawiarnia Naukowa Festiwalu Nauki [18 marca 2019] Jak działa pamięć przestrzenna? Gdzie i w jaki sposób przechowywane są informacje na temat drogi do danych miejsc? Dr Rafał Czajkowski w Kawiarni Naukowej Festiwalu Nauki opowiedział, co naukowcy wiedzą na temat tego, w jaki sposób mózg pozwala trafić tam, gdzie chce jego właściciel. W 1948 roku Edward Tolman na podstawie obserwacji szczurów odnajdujących drogę w labiryncie postawił hipotezę, że tworzą ono w mózgu „mapę kognitywną”. Kilka lat później Karl Lashley bezskutecznie próbował dociec, który obszar mózgu odpowiada za pamięć. Analizował w tym celu zachowania nawigacyjne szczurów, którym uprzednio uszkadzał wybrane połączenia w korze mózgowej. Jego badania nie przyniosły przełomu. Dopiero w 1957 Brenda Milner odkryła, że owa „mapa kognitywna” znajduje się w hipokampie. Doszła do tego wniosku, badając zachowanie pacjenta z usunięta operacyjnie tą częścią mózgu. Henry Molaison nie zachowywał trwałych wspomnień, upośledzona była również jego pamięć przestrzenna. W 1971 roku John O'Keef analizował aktywność neuronalną w hipokampie poruszającego się szczura. Odkrył, że każdemu położeniu zwierzęta w przestrzeni odpowiada aktywacja co najmniej jednego neuronu. Dr Rafał Czajkowski podczas wykładu opowiada o opisanych wyżej ustaleniach naukowców, a także referuje współczesną wiedzę badaczy na temat pamięci przestrzennej.

Nikolai DiPippa, Clinton School Director of Public Programs, sat down with Luke Dittrich, author of “Patient H.M.: A Story of Memory, Madness, and Family Secrets, the story of Henry Molaison, who lost the ability to create memories after he underwent a lobotomy to treat his seizures. His case taught scientists a lot about how the brain creates and stores memories. The case was one of personal tragedy for Molaison, but a boon for the modern landscape of medicine and science. Dittrich is the grandson of William Scoville, the doctor who performed Patient H.M.'s lobotomy. Additionally, Dittrich is a National Magazine Award-winning journalist, and a contributing editor at Esquire.

Henry Molaison foi um norte-americano que em 1953 se submeteu a uma cirurgia arriscadíssima para remover os dois lados do seu hipocampo, o que encerraria os ataques epilépticos que tinha há anos. O que Henry e os médicos não sabiam, era que isso impediria Henry de formar novas memórias. Discutimos a memória do cérebro em si, e o conceito de memória no imaginário coletivo. / Participantes: Rafael Oliveira e Matheus Luiz. / Atualizações do podcast também através da nossa página no facebook e do twitter @r94oliveirade. / Críticas, sugestões e comentários? mikefitapodcast@gmail.com

When a surgeon cut into Henry Molaison’s skull to treat him for epilepsy, he inadvertently created the most important brain-research subject of our time—a man who could no longer remember, who taught us everything we know about memory. Six decades later, another daring researcher is cutting into Henry’s brain. Another revolution in brain science is about to begin.

Like most famous patients in the history of neuroscience, Henry Molaison—or HM, as he was known among scientists—was famous because his brain was defective. Unlike the other patients, his case was not an accident but the deliberate work of a surgeon. In 1953, a neurosurgeon suctioned out two slivers from brain Henry's skull, hoping to cure him of epilepsy. The surgery helped the seizures, if not completely, but it made Henry unable to form any new memories.

If you have studied neuroscience, memory, or even basic psychology, it is likely that you have heard of the famous amnesic patient Henry Molaison, or “H.M.” as he was known during his lifetime. In 1953, Henry underwent an experimental brain surgery in hopes of finding a cure for his severe epilepsy. As a result, he developed a severe case of amnesia. Unable to encode new memories into long-term storage, Henry lived constantly in the present, unable to recall events that had happened even minutes before. In the 55 years between the surgery and his death in 2008, Henry became the most famous and comprehensively studied patient in neuroscience. Decades of research on Henry’s cognitive abilities provided a lasting contribution to neuroscience, and research on his postmortem brain is continuing into the future. Perhaps no one knew the case of H.M. better than Dr. Suzanne Corkin. In this interview, Dr. Corkin will discuss her new book, Permanent Present Tense: The Unforgettable Life of the Amnesic Patient, H.M. (Basic Books, 2013) Her decades of research with Henry provided a major contribution to our understanding of various systems of memory and the brain, and the book tells the incredible tale of Henry the person, “H.M.” the willing research participant, and the complexity of human memory.
