Nova PBS takes a closer look at how memory works. This program, hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, features how Jacopo Annese and The Brain Observatory are going to study the brain of patient H.M. Interviews with Jacopo Annese, Suzanne Corkin, Brenda Milner, and Eric Kandel give more insight into patient H.M. and how his case helps neuroscientists understand memory.
