The first controlled human lobotomy was performed by the Portuguese physician and neurologist António Egas Moniz in 1936. His method involved drilling holes in patients' heads and destroying the tissue connecting the frontal lobes by injecting alcohol into them. Moniz won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1949 for this work. from wiki

Hey!? Don't be disrespectful. It's obviously quite a discovery that if you open
up the skull and damage the brain you'll get a meat vegetable. Give him
some credit, will you? 😠

Interestingly enough, there's a site where a lot of the people who were experimented on during the labotomy trials hang out:
