As you all know, the patient H.M. had a profound impact on the field of neuroscience and psychology. This NPR segment on H.M. was done almost 25 years years after his infamous operation, and about one year before he passed away. It is one of the few interviews I've heard with recordings of H.M.'s voice.
From NPR:
