12/5/16 Phineas Gage

1.  This is about Phineas Gage story... Phineas Gage was a hard working man. He was kind to all of his friends. One day on September 13, 1848 an explosion happen his iron bar went through his head. The tapping iron was 3 feet and 7 inches long. In the middle of 1849 Phineas felt strong to go back to work. Because of the injury of Phineas Gage his personality had changed the conductors who had employed him wouldn't give him his job back. after the accident his friends would tell Phineas he was no longer gage anymore. After 1859 his death began to fail he went to San Francisco to go live with his family. In 1860 he began to have seizures. Later on Phineas Gage died.



2.  He was interested in Phineas because Phineas had a hole in his head. Phineas could do anything he could of walked and stand up but he was interested because  his behaver was strange. His behaver was different he was so kind to his friends after what happened his brain has different part of a the brain. The iron bar went through his frontal lobe and changed his personalitly. So Dr Hallow was really interested in Phineas gage.


3.  I've learned that the frontal lobe there's a lot of tissue. Its really sensitive and it hold all the complex thoughts. It gives use a chose to choose between good or bad. They didn't have any medicine or they couldn't put people to sleep to do surgery. But now in 2016 we have all the medicine , we put people to sleep now. We have everything to save someone's live . That's something that I learned.
