Jacopo Annese, Director of the Brain Observatory at the University of California, San Diego, collects and studies brains. However, he sees them not as mere numbered specimens, but as instruments of personality. He discusses with Claudia Hammond the famous case of 'HM', whose brain has been crucial in understanding memory. Annese's Digital Brain Library has great potential for understanding disease, ageing and many other human concerns.
