Your answer should include the following key points.
In 1848, a bizarre accident drove an inch-thick, three-and-a-half-foot-long iron rod clear through the head of Phineas Gage.
The rod entered beneath the left eye and exited through the top of the head, destroying much of his prefrontal cortex.
Miraculously, Gage survived the trauma and, by most accounts, he retained the ability to speak, think, and remember.
However, Gage had changed from mild-mannered, friendly and efficient into foul-mouthed, ill-tempered, and undependable.
After the accident, Gage was unable to hold a steady job or stick to a plan
