Drugs that temporarily inhibit parts of the brain 5 of 17 Patient HM had lesions to which part of the brain, which resulted in which type of memory loss? Bilateral lobectomy of the medial temporal lobes meant he lost episodic memory (spanning back 11 years) 6 of 17 What type of animal is fear conditioning associated with?
