Like a hole in the head

Article Abstract:

A brain injury suffered by Phineas Gage of Cavendish, VT, in 1848, is examined. Gage had a tamping iron pass through his cheekbone through his brain, and survived. However, his behavior was completely different, and his case is still famous because of what it taught neurologists about brain injuries and behavior.
