Although some of the story in Luke Dittrich's book "Patient H.M." has been presented here, a formal review by Seth Mnookin, director of MIT's grad program in science writing, finally appears. Here is the link to the review: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/04/books/review/patient-h-m-luke-dittrich.html?mabReward=CTM
One of the surprising statement that Mnookin makes is that Dittrich does not provide notes or references for points made in the books (as well as some factual errors). So, this makes the book more of a memoir than a scientific monograph, that is, a personal view of the history surrounding HM as well as commentary on the "sociology of cognitive neuroscience", how social factors affected people working in this area. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
