  • Summary

  • Brain In A Jar

    Phineas Gage was an American railroad foreman who survived a traumatic brain injury. In 1848, an iron rod shot through his skull and destroyed a chunk of his left frontal lobe. Though he survived the accident, the damage to his brain drastically altered his personality. Gage's story became a catalyst for modern neuroscience, which has advanced to the point scientists are now able to develop a brain in a jar.
