Question

8．When he donated his brain to science，he didn't realize what a valuable gift he shared with the world．His brain has recently been digitally imaged in 3D to ensure future generations have online access to his undiscovered treasures．
No，it's not Einstein's brain．His name was Henry Molaison．You may not have heard of his name but his contribution has influenced our life．Scientists are learning new ways for treating diseases such as Alzheimer's，mainly due to the research conducted on Henry．
Henry had part of his brain removed in 1953．However，his ability to form memories was unexpectedly changed．Henry could remember some events and people from his life before the operation，though he could not form new memories．If you met Henry，he would forget meeting you seconds later．Henry only lived in the moment，and nowhere else．The operation had removed key parts of the brain responsible for helping remember the details of our lives．Henry had no choice； his life existed only in the Now．Henry would have forgotten the entire meeting moments after it was over．
Unable to live a normal life，Henry engaged in simple daily activities such as shopping，watching television，and doing puzzles．He spent most of his time serving as the subject of countless research projects．
Henry could still learn new skills and tasks．He could retain theses skills，but had no idea where or when he had learned them．His brain has multiple memory systems．Memory is not a single process which occurs in the entire brain．Instead，various parts of the brain are responsible for our memory．Due to his inability to remember he'd done so many times before，Henry was a willing participant and never grew tired of serving the science community．
Giving scientists the map for learning how and where the brain forms memories is Henry's greatest contribution．This is the priceless gift that won't easily be forgotten．
