Seizures affecting life

Since the emergence of psychology; There have been numerous experiments, researches and scientists who have contributed to this field. We are all familiar with them, sometimes with their adaptation to films, sometimes with ear familiarity, and sometimes with our lessons. Do you think there is someone who has made a great contribution to psychology but has never been aware of it?

After an accident at the age of 9, he had epileptic seizures. Henry Molaison was a neurosurgeon at the Hartford Hospital 18 years later, due to unknown and life-threatening seizures. William Beecher went to Scoville and Scoville decided to intervene surgically in the brain. Scoville hoped to reduce epileptic seizures and improve the quality of life in an experimental operation.

After the surgery, despite the seizure of epileptic seizures, an anomaly appeared in Henry Molaison's memory. Although there was no problem in her short-term memory, Molaison lost her ability to transfer new information to her long-term memory. Although he remembered people he knew a long time ago, he couldn't keep the memory of the people he just saw.

After the surgery, Molaison was unable to gain any new knowledge in her declarative memory and was able to continue gaining new motor skills for 55 years after she had experienced nothing that affected her methodological memory. From here we can understand that our memory is not governed by only one region of our brain. There are different regions that affect different memory functions.
