> For or good measure, Scoville removed H.M.’s amygdalae and other nearby structures as well. How do they separate the effects of these two? The amygdalae plays a large part in emotion, which probably accounted more for H.M.'s mood changes than the hippocampus. Also memories tied to emotion are more strongly remembered. How do they know they didn't destroy another path to creating memories via the amygdalae? Maybe there are three or more types of memory storage systems. I do agree that the "muscle memory" test was fairly conclusive but the other conclusions drawn are not.
