Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a
railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish,
Vermont, in 1848 when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through
his brain. Miraculously, he survived to live another eleven years
and become a textbook case in brain science.
At the time, Phineas Gage seemed to completely recover from his
accident. He could walk, talk, work, and travel, but he was
changed. Gage "was no longer Gage," said his Vermont doctor,
meaning that the old Phineas was dependable and well liked, and the
new Phineas was crude and unpredictable.
His case astonished doctors in his day and still fascinates
doctors today. What happened and what didn't happen inside the
brain of Phineas Gage will tell you a lot about how your brain
works and how you act human.
