Neurological research participant

A person whose participation in research on neurological function provides evidence about cognition or brain mechanisms. Case studies may be published under initials or patient codes.

The published patient code in classic investigations of severe auditory-verbal short-term impairment with relatively preserved performance on several long-term verbal-learning tasks. The published initials are retained here.

The research participant originally reported as H.M. Studies after bilateral medial temporal lobe surgery provided evidence for distinctions among immediate retention, new declarative learning and skill learning.
