   Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  classyhomemaker | Dec 11, 2023 |   Fine account of the unfortunate man. The brain is a terrific place, in every sense of the word. (  ) kcshankd | Jan 3, 2021 |  ) Wanda-Gambling | May 9, 2020 | OakGrove-KFA | Mar 28, 2020 | This book covers a portion of the life of Phineas Gage, a medical miracle who survived being skewered through the brain. His is a fascinating case that advanced our understanding of brain injuries. Unfortunately, although portions of his life are well documented, there are many gaps in his story. I really wanted to know more about him. This was definitely an interesting book and I think it would appeal to middle grade readers.

HTML: 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. .No library descriptions found. |

"If there are exact locations in the brain that allow for the ability to hear or to breathe, is there a place that generates human social behavior? If that place is damaged, do you stop acting human?" (
