Question 4

Outline Corkins study on HM’s brain

Answer 4

Corkin et al. (1997) used MRI to study H.M.’s lesion in the first attempt to use modern technology to study his brain.

The results of the MRI scan confirmed a relationship between damage to the medial temporal lobes (including the hippocampus) and H.M.’s amnesia. Although a tiny part of the hippocampus remained it was not enough to support normal memory function. The MRI scan indicated that HM’s brain had severe damage to it.
