4. Brain Damage - Frontal lobe

The brain controls many functions in our body, as well as controlling our behaviour and moods. Damage to areas of the brain can have differing effects.

On September 13, 1848, railroad worker Phineas Gage was working on a railway site when an explosion sent a three and a half foot iron rod through Gage's skull, entering his left cheek and exiting through the top of his head.

Amazingly Gage survived the accident, but the damage to his frontal lobe left his personality and demeanor significantly changed. This led doctors to study the function of different parts of the brain and the effects of damage.
