The New York Times has an interesting obituary on an amnesiac viewed for five decades as "the most important patient in the history of brain science."
Henry Gustav Molaison suffered a head injury as a child and developed severe seizures as a result. When doctors removed tissue from his brain, they were able to stop the seizures, but left him with a severe case of amnesia. It's an interesting obituary, check it out here.
