Résumé
1848. An improperly prepared charge of gunpowder rocketed a three-foot-long iron rod through the brain of railroad worker Phineas Gage. Gage remained coherent as he rode an oxcart back to town for help, and survived the accident for nearly a… dozen years, though his personality changed from amiable to argumentative. The author shows how Gage's misfortune actually played an intriguing and important role in the development of our knowledge of the brain. Grades 5-8. 2002.
