The Case of Phineas Gage
One of the best-known clinical cases
involved a dramatic injury to an unfortunate railroad worker,
Phineas Gage. One day in 1848, he was working on track
construction near Cavendish, Vermont. While Gage was placing
an explosive charge, a spark of metal against rock set off the
charge, sending a long metal tamping rod flying upwards. The
rod entered Gage's head just below the left eye, and exited from
the tab of his skull, somewhat forward of left center.
Remarkably, Gage survived (though he was blinded in his left
eye). Even more remarkably, his behavior changed dramatically.
Whereas Gage had previously been likeable and responsible, he
became erratic, and given to terrible fits of temper. Sadly, he
spent his remaining years wandering around the United States,
displaying the hole in his skull and the iron rod which had
brought him such grief.
Gage's story has been a source of endless fascination ever since.
(His skull, and the iron rod, is still on display in the Harvard
Medical School museum.) Given the pathway of the rod through
his head, it would seem that the injury extensively damaged the
association areas of the left frontal lobe. The behavioral
changes, especially in emotionality, have been used as evidence
that this region is involved in the expression of emotion. (A
view seconded by advocates of
frontal lobotomies
in the 1940's and '50's.)
