How much has our understanding of neuroscience depended on one brain?

Seth Manouken is here to talk about his review of the new book, Patient H.M.

An enormous amount of what we know today about memory and about how memory works and where

memory resides in the brain stems from work that was done on HM.

I'm Pamela Paul.

On September 9, 1971, more than 1,000 inmates at the Attica Correctional Facility in

upstate New York took over a prison holding guards and employees hostage to protest years

of poor conditions and mistreatment.

Four days later, armed state troopers and correction officers retook the prison killing

39 prisoners in hostages and wounding hundreds of others.

Heather Ann Thompson is a historian and scholar, her book, Blood in the Water, the Attica prison

uprising of 1971 and its legacy has new information about that terrible event.

Heather, thanks for being with us.

Hey.
