*Phineas Gage*

          Phineas Gage was a railroad construction foreman who is famously remembered because of his accident he had once while working. He was working with a metal rod to pinch the sand into the earth so that the explosive inside the earth would not escape throught the hole. Unfortunately he was distracted while executing his work and the explosive went off making the metal rod fly directly into his face and out. Phineas gage was still alive after all and his friends huried towards him to take him to a paramedic.

        Phineas had all his frontal lobe distroyed and yet he was alive. What changed was his personality, he became a grumpy and filthy man. This case turned very famous because it was the first time that someone survived from an injury that bad and it helped doctors understand the functions of the brain and they learned that the frontal lobe controlled the way you act. They also learned that there are cirtain parts of your brain that can be damaged and yet you can survive.

        Brain Localization has to do with the localiszation of parts of your brain and their functions.

                              Below you will see a detailed picture with the localizations:



           Brain Lateralization means that some functions are carried out exclusively on one side of the barain (ex. speech, wich is on the left side of the brain for most people). The brain is devided into two sides thgat are alike in some ways and very different in others. each side carries out different functions and control different parts of your body. The left side of the brain controls the left side of the body and the right brain controls the right side of the body.
