The controversy over famous patient Henry Molaison — a.k.a. H.M. — is #7 on the Guardian’s list<\/a> of top science news stories of 2016.<\/p>\n

In brief: Luke Dittrich has accused<\/a> memory researcher Suzanne Corkin of several ethical breaches — including shredding research — in her work with H.M. (Corkin’s peers have strongly defended<\/a> her work.)<\/p>\n

This story is rich in human interest: Dittrich, after all, is the grandson of the surgeon who — in\u00a0an attempt to cure H.M.’s epilepsy — removed H.M.’s hippocampi.<\/p>\n

And yet, given that Corkin’s work<\/a> and H.M.’s story are\u00a0foundational for many accounts of human memory, this controversy goes beyond family scandal to deep\u00a0scientific import.<\/p>\n
