Publisher's noteA fascinating exploration into how the brain works details the strange case of Phineas Gage, who, in 1848, was injured at work when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through his brain, baffling scientists and doctors alike when he miraculously recovered but suffered a severe personality change. AnnotationA 13-pound iron rod shot through the brain of railroad construction foreman Phineas Gage in Vermont in 1848. He lived 11 more years, and was able to walk and talk and function as normally as he had in the past. But, as his doctor said, Gage "was no longer Gage." His manner darkened; he became coarse and chaotic when he had been an affable, dependable person. The true story of a medical oddity that continues to intrigue doctors. Full-color photographs accompany the text.
