his head came out the other side.

Yes.

And then he like got all irritable because he had no frontal lobe control.

So as Ryder just said, Phineas P. Gage was an American railroad construction foreman remembered for his improbable survival of an accident in which a large iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying much of his brain's left frontal lobe.

And for that, injuries reported effects on his personality and behavior over the remaining 12 years of his life, effects sufficiently profound that friends saw him for at least a time as quote unquote, no longer Gage.

Yeah, dude, it's like a famous, because really before they could do brain surgeries, you had to look to cases like his to see like what happens if you lose parts of your brain.

So he was like, I think what happened is his frontal lobe was like severed from, it was basically a lobotomy.

but like a frontal lobe lobotomy, but it was still there.

It was just not connected.

So we couldn't have like emotional control.

It's a crazy story.

And it was like one of the first cases where they were like, I guess if you disconnect that part of the brain, this works.

Yeah.

So yeah, it's, it's incredible.

This, this story, just go read it.

I won't get too much into it.

Cause right.

I told you so much, but he was a really good looking dude who blew off part of his head.

And then it was a, it was a different guy afterwards and survived and survived for like another 12 years.

Phineas Gage.
