Phineas Gage is a popular story in neuroscience texts. Reminds me of the story of Alexis St. Martin, a fur trapper who got a hole shot in his stomach that healed permanently opened. This allowed a revolutionary approach to experiments on the human digestive system and much was learned from St. Martin.
When I was five years old, I had a rock dropped onto my head from a person on a rooftop. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy a couple of years after that incident. I still can feel the hole in my forehead. I often wonder if it has changed aspects of my personality.
I have been watching these videos for a while and when I was watching this on I just asked myself " why haven't I subscribed to this yet?" so I pressed the button. your videos are awesome keep up the good work
I have a cousin who was in a terrible car wreck when she was 3 and they had to remove 3/4 of her brain. My aunt and uncle were told she would walk talk and would be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life. They are not sure why but not only could she walk and talk, she graduated from high school and if nobody told you about her accident you would not know. As a family member being raised around her the one thing she doesn't seem to have is deep emotional feelings. What i mean is if for instance her husband were to come home one day and say "I want a divorce" she would react like it was just another sentence and the next day she would live her life and not think twice about it.
WOW that's interesting and scary at the same time. .... I mean no reaction at all? couldn't she at least fake a reaction?Can she even lie?....a white lie??
oh don't get me wrong she would fake it but the hurt like you and me feel don't affect her long term. I had heard the story all my life because I have a close family. But I had a garage sale one day and my cousin came by as this doctor was telling me about his career and as we were talking i mentioned my cousin who had just arrived name. The guy lit up and asked if he could talk to her and then told me he was the doctor who did her surgery and how he didn't imagine she would ever be aware let alone living life as any person with all of their brain. When he left he came over to me to tell me that this was a real miracle. to be honest i didn't believe the story completely all my life because as far as i could tell she was just like anyone. she can lie but it is kinda easy to tell because her demeanor completely changes. She is 6 or 7 years older then me and when I was a child we would have family get together every weekend. My cousins and i liked to play on this old (truck Bed) converted in to a trailer, the trailer hitch would set on a round piece of firewood and we would run back to the end and it would go up then we would run to the front and it would smash down on the wood. I wanted to get on and she told me that i would have to put my hand on the wood. I told her i was afraid she would run forward and she promised no we (her Jerry another cousin) wouldn't do that. so I put my had down and they ran forward and the hitch crushed my hand. I very much disliked her for a long time because to her when our parents came for some answers was talking about it like it was an insignificant can or rock. I look at the situation now differently know she didn't (for real) understand I was going to get hurt and that that action required some kind of compassion or guilt.
Majed Alotaiby her mom had given her a check for $1,200 she went to the bank and the teller asked her if a bag would be alright for the money. She said yes took the bag set it in her passenger seat and went home but she left the bag in her glove box. (Sounds normal so far huh) Well what had actually happened at the bank is the cashier mad a mistake and thought the check was to $12,000 and put the 12 grand in the bag. After watching the video surveillance for and hour they called my aunt to discuss the problem and asked if crystal could bring the bag back. So my aunt calls her and she goes back to the bank where everyone is still assessing the video then everyone was looking at her. To an astounded bunch of bank tellers all the money was there. Crystal said she thought the bag seem big but just assume what ever the amount they gave her must have been what her mom wanted. Now this is my take on the tellers and the surveillance video. I would bet they watched that video looking for a emotion of guilt and I like to think that at least one of them said something like "Look at that girl she is pretending to not notice we just gave her $12,000. In the end the bank manager thanked her and told her it was the banks fault and would have been very hard for them to get them money back if she hadn't returned it but the teller was fired.
+Mike B. WOOOOW LOL I feel so bad for the teller. When I read your story I immediately remember a quote that I read once from a book that says "lying sinning forelock"..... and what caught my interest that this book was written wayyyyy before discovering the frontal lobe function or gage's incident , but yet it was so specific. I mean at that time it would've been easier to say a sinning man or a sinning brain, but that wasn't the case. I forgot it name but you can Google it. It's an interesting book.
Interesting. There was many other similar cases though. I remember a guy that took a harpoon in the head and could go to the hospital. There were also people surviving gunshot in the head.
I read that the brain can make up for damaged, missing or diseased areas, by other areas taking up the slack and doing the job of the damaged part. Sorry, don't have references, just something I remember reading somewhere.
Just because anyone goes through this doesn’t mean that they can’t get better in other circumstances or pursuits? Talk about his Life afterwards? He became a Stagecoach Driver
apart from the gorey details... he had trouble maintaining carrying out extravagant ideas he had set forth as plans... or for a musician it could be a nice album project duration or power of repetitive force of standard longevity in initial dissemination and touring.
and I would no more believe that last part only I know why I aught be wary.. I ain't gullible.. it is in my very nature to be logical and cautious as a capricious capricornus maximus
Traumatic Brain Injury, and I have one and my Injury is a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury and I developed Parkinson’s Disease (PNES) and Retrograde Amnesia and the hardest portion is controlling my emotions because in any instant? I can instantly Rage and destroy things and completely forget myself
When I hear stories like this about people back then, it solidifies my belief I would have survived 5 seconds in that time period.

I can't believe Gage was conscious the whole time. If I had a huge metal rod blasted through MY skull, I'd lose my head.
+It's Okay To Be Smart ... how... are... you... here...?...
I don’t think I would want to be conscious after going through extensive horrible pain, I wasn’t? I was instantly put in a coma upon impact
@@AndrewB221what's coma?

Wait, she has a whole channel talking about stuff like this? Well well, I might subscribe and watch a video every time I have lunch! -.-

A.P. Psychology problems...
I read that the brain can make up for damaged, missing or diseased areas, by other areas taking up the slack and doing the job of the damaged part. Sorry, don't have references, just something I remember reading somewhere.
I wish all those doing psychology well.
lol "Enough of you"
I thought this was really interesting it's kinda gross but really cool!
