This book tells the story of the man who suffered a horrific brain injury when an explosion sent a 3-foot long iron bar through his skull in 1848. Amazingly, he survived and lived for another 13 years, but his personality was radically altered. Modern neuroscience probably dates from this time, as scores of doctors examined Phineas Gage and debated the true nature of his brain injury. Unfortunately, there was no autopsy after his death, but his skull was preserved and can be seen on the cover (the bar entered just beneath the left cheekbone and exited at the top of the skull). This book is strongly recommended for anyone interested in how the brain functions. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"In 1848 a railway construction worker named Phineas Gage suffered an accident ... : an explosion [that] caused a tamping iron to be blown completely through his head, destroying the left frontal lobe of his brain. Gage survived the accident and remained in reasonable physical health for another eleven years. But his behavior changed markedly after the injury, and his case is considered to be the firstto reveal the relation between the brain and complex personality characteristics."--Jacket.
