Reed S.Kohn has donated his brain to science.An epileptic since he was 8 years old,Kohn has tried everything from experimental drugs to harrowing surgery to con-trol his seizures.Time and again,neurosurgeons have taken out bits of his brain that spark his hallucinations,or auras,and have severed nerves that enable aberrant electrical impulses to arc from lobe to lobe and generate a full-blown seizure.
