'I Smell Burnt Toast': Mapping the Human Brain

Dr. Wilder Penfield, a neurosurgeon at McGill University, changed our understanding of the human brain. By electrically stimulating the brains of conscious patients during surgery (who reported sensations like smelling burnt toast), he created functional maps of the brain's cortices. His 'Montreal Procedure' for treating epilepsy is still used today. #Canada #Neuroscience #McGill #MedicalHistory 🇨🇦

I’m living in #Canada, where #multiculturalism, the rule of law and democratic norms remain strong, watching the freedoms I once took for granted wither away at home.

The Cutter stacks at McGill, November 2005.
