Book Reading #32 - Opening Skinner's Box

Chapter 9
Summary
This chapter deals with a more in depth look at how memories work and their function. The first story talks about a doctor performing brain surgery in the hope of elviating seizures. However, he inadvertantly removes the memory making center of the brain and makes his patient unable to form new memories.

Discussion
I love any of these chapters that deals with the brain because it is still the last mystery of our body that we are slowly learning new things about. It is interesting to see what we once thought on the subject.
