I would like to help in that area of research, and in the search for radioisotopes
that may be used in local cortical control, but I know now that I won't have the time.
September 17 — Becoming absent minded.
Put things away on my desk or in the drawers of the lab tables, and when I can't find them I lose my temper and flare up at everyone.
First signs? Algernon died two days ago.
I found him at four thirty in the morning when I came back to the lab after wandering around down at the waterfront
—on his side, stretched out in the corner of his cage.
As if he were running in his sleep. Dissection shows that my predictions were right.
Compared to the normal brain, Algernon's had decreased in weight
and there was a general smoothing out of the cerebral convolutions as well as a deepening and broadening of brain fissures.
It's frightening to think that the same thing might be happening to me right now.
Seeing it happen to Algernon makes it real. For the first time, I'm afraid of the future.
