Phineas Gage worked as a #railway constructor in 1852. One day Gage became momentarily distracted by the men working behind him, causing him to turn around.
The iron rod Gage was holding at the time sparked against a nearby rock and ignited the fuse, causing an explosion. The rod shot upwards, penetrated Gage's left cheek, ripped into his #brain and exited through his #skull .
Gage was thrown onto his back, had a brief seizure, but recovered quickly and sat up and spoke within a few minutes. The rod was found 30 yards away “where it was picked up by his men, smeared with blood and brain.”
Miraculously, Gage had somehow #survived and lived for another 12 years before dying at the age of 36 from severe seizures.
His unfortunate accident progressed #neuroscience considerably and has given us a firm understanding on the role of the frontal lobe and personality change.
