Phineas Gage

Railroad worker that was working with explosives that was dealing with getting rid of rocks

3 Foot long Iron Rod went into his brain causing it to pass through his cheek bone

He had a hole through his skull and he was breathing

He had changes in his personality where he was stubborn and swore a lot, no one really wanted to be around him after his injury

He was up within a few seconds and appeared to be normal. Both eyes responded to light

11 Years after the accident he began to have ciezars

Continued to work at museaums that housed the rod that passed through his brain

Through this injury it was found out that the frontal lobes of the brain affect a person's behavior
