Phineas Gage was a minor man, who has been a survival of such a brain damage. The story of these famous man consists in that he had this accident in which was performing his usual work when an accident occurred. His routine was to add gunpowder, fuse and sand together then compress the mixture with a large iron rod, Phineas forgot to add the sand one time and the explosive mixture blew to his face resulting in the iron rod piercing his head. It entered the side of his head and went out at the top. The iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying much of his brain's left frontal lobe, and for that injury's reported effects on his personality and behavior—effects so profound that friends saw him as "no longer Gage." What we can learn from this accident is that the frontal lobe controls your emotions, manners, the way of treating other, etc. I can tell this because before the accident Gage was a kind man whom everyone liked to be around, and after this incident that he damage the frontal lobe his actions toward people started to change as said people couldn’t even recognize him. Brain Lateralization is the idea that the two halves of the brain's cerebral cortex -- left and right -- execute different functions, and the Brain Localization different parts of the brain carry out different functions (e.g., vision, control of voluntary movement, understanding speech, etc.) and, conversely, that not all parts of the brain do the same thing
