A man who went into a brain operation in order to to correct a seizure disorder. However, due to the operation, he lost the ability to form new memories. What means is that every time he went through the event, it was always new to his memory. He didn't remember what he had done before, even though he had done it. This mans' operation helped scientists understand the biology of learning, memory, and physical dexterity. He did an another experiment on his brain, and this operation somehow, brought back his memories, but did not placed the memories in the exact time order. SO he was confused of the memories. As the book recalls, "A Lifetime without Memory," is the exact definition for the mans life.
From this case scientists learned that memories can be replaced, but you should be very careful about removing, or replacing ones brain functions, or else, it would ruin one of the patients life.
