"Historical records fail to explain some astounding errors of judgment. Witness the 1949 prize in physiology or medicine, shared by neuroscientist Antonio Egas Moniz for his development in 1935 of the prefrontal lobotomy.

It was a terrible mistake that caused permanent damage to thousands of patients," says 1981 physiology or medicine laureate Torsten Wiesel of Rockefeller University in New York City."
