Habit (The Power of Habit)

In 1992 Eugene Pauly suffered a viral encephalitis that destroyed a 5 cm mass of his medial temporal lobe resulting in anterograde amnesia and the inability to form new memories and yet he was able to find his way home.  This led to a groundbreaking discovery of a heretofore unknown operation of our brain in the formation of habits.  Understanding this function of the brain will streamline the osteopathic evaluation and provide new tools for rehabilitating patients.
