The Case Behind the Study

The Case Behind the Study

In 1848, 25-year-old railroad worker Phineas Gage survived a tamping iron passing through his head. The iron was 109 cm long and 3 cm thick. It entered beneath his left cheek, travelled upward through the frontal region, and exited through the top of his skull. Damasio et al. (1994) reconstructed the injury as bilateral damage to the ventromedial regions of the frontal lobes.
