21) in 1848, a railroad foreman named phineas gage was injured in an explosion, when
a tamping iron penetrated his skull and caused brain damage; surprisingly, he survived.
the rod was 1.25″ in diameter and 3.5′ long. after the accident he was able to speak, get
himself up and down from a cart, and climb a flight of stairs to see the local physicians.
years later, the doctors reported that he physically recovered, but the balance between
his intellectual facilities and animal propensities was destroyed. he was no longer
mild-mannered, kind, and respectful; he grew obstinate, ill-tempered, and showed little
self-restraint. based on this story, what area(s) of the brain (and/or systems) do you
think he injured and why?
