Best summary of Phineas Gage ever
"He was apparently working on a construction site or something and got a rod blown through his head and he survived but it damaged a big chunk of his frontal lobe and he was a nice guy before and a raging asshole after."
I believe of all the psych classes that I've had to hear/read about Phineas Gage in, this is the most succinct description. As dry and difficult to pay attention to/memorize as I find most of this course, I do like my prof a lot XD"
ETA: Also he's been hating on this chapter in the textbook and is pointing out how one of the graphs makes no sense because the number of alive and dead monkeys don't add up. His conclusion on the next slide: ZOMBIE MONKEYS.
