Hello, nice to meet you.... again.

Wohoo! Thank you high-speed internet. The link embedded in this article offers a real-time look into the brain-shaving and other laboratory procedures that are currently being undergone to map and preserve an anomaly of a brain.
This is a great article as it is science worded in lay terms for the average reader, but is by no means dumbed down. It is also peppered with technical lingo for those with a little more experience. I enjoyed the detailing of the patient's symptoms (in a lighthearted manner) and the descriptions of his experiences. It made him more than just a 'famous brain.' This article reads like a story--there is definitely a narrative flow--, and an exciting one at that. With quotes from experts in the field of neuroscience telling of how much they could potentially learn from H.M's brain, it's quite thrilling.
