In 1848, an explosion near railroad-worker Phineas Gage sent a 3½-foot iron rod through his skull.  The iron rod entered his head under the left eye and emerged from the top of Phineas’ head.  Describe what became known about brain functioning and personality due to this tragic accident.

The frontal lobes are involved in personality.
Gage was described by his friends as “no longer Gage.”
Parts of the frontal lobes are involved in social judgment, rational decision making, and the ability to set goals and to make and carry out plans.
Gage became foul-mouthed, ill-tempered, and undependable.
