<em>The correct option is A) helps us to understand how memory works.</em>
Explanation:
The study of the human brain is a complex one. Psychologists and scientists work hand in hand to understand various aspects of the human brain. Although, we now have a piece of knowledge about the different parts of the brain and their activities, yet we still have a lot to learn about the human brain and controlling of certain activities by it.
Studying patients who still have clear memories of three decades ago will have Professor Wallace understand how memories are generated in a person and whether the phenomenon is unique to a person or it is common to all human beings.
