Would you like to remember every day of your life?
Name a day and Brad Williams can probably tell you what he did. UCI asks:
How?

IRVINE – It seems an odd place to store such precious cargo.

But there it is, in a Tupperware bowl tucked in an old cardboard box. Larry
Cahill pulls on rubber gloves, pops the lid and lifts his prize:

"Yes, I do get razzed about keeping a brain in my office," says Cahill, a
leading brain researcher at UCI, pointing out the dura mater ("tough
mother"), the pia mater ("soft mother"), which cover the cerebral cortex.

"Everything they ever loved, hated or cared about," he says, "went through
here."

And everything they ever remembered.

Cahill is trying to explain the living brain of a man undergoing tests in
the next room. A brain that makes Cahill's jaw drop. A brain that
effortlessly answers questions like:

When was Anwar Sadat killed?

It was Oct. 6, 1981.

What happened to Princess Grace?

She had a stroke and had a car accident and died in 1982 – on September
14th.

What happened 23 years ago today (April 7, 2008)?

"Ok, in 1985 it was Easter Sunday, and my mom and dad were visiting me in
Nebraska where I was working. We went to the movies the night before and
saw Cher in "Mask" in downtown Lincoln."

It'll take more than a brain in a Tupperware bowl to explain this. ...


He only has one brain in his office? What a wimp :-)
