The moment Phineas Gage was mentioned I thought, "The railroad lobotomy guy". It's an interesting survival story, lesson in human durability and psychology to be sure and most people remember him for this. However, his story is quite tragic. The man he was before the incident essentially died that day. Who he became (as a result) was dysfunctional and lost everything and everyone he once held dear. A fascinating story but a tragic one.

We also talk about him in philosophy classes... Funny enough I'm talking a class called "Philosophy of The Mind" right now and it came up... It's relevant in that when you're talking about what the mind is, you gotta consider how mental states work in conjunction with brain states... If a change to your brain state (i.e. losing a chunk of your brain) can result in changes to ones mental states (the state of their mind) then it kind of goes to support the idea that there is a connection between brain states and mental states... This can be a problem for some theories of the mind, like, I think with idealism the mind is supposedly some immaterial thing (like a soul) which should be unaffected by the brain... Of course, these days idealism isn't too popular, but there's also other theories that you could bring this up with, idealism is just the most obvious...

The functions necessary for life (respiration, homeostasis, etc.) are located in the brainstem. So damage, even severe damage, to higher areas is not necessarily immediately fatal (unless major blood vessels are injured). Phineas Gage damaged the frontal lobe, an area involved in personality, judgement, and impulse control. On Ron Hunt: The brain is actually a pretty deformable tissue (kind of like firm jelly). It can actually adapt pretty well even to large changes in pressure, but usually more so (without injury) to slower growing pressure (like a tumor). But it can be squeezed aside from sudden trauma as well, though that is more likely to cause lasting damage. Source: In medical school

Just an rn here, but I've seen case studies where people have lost up to half their brain and maintained relative functionality. Of course they would always lose something like the ability to do math, or the ability to comprehend the passage of time and huge chunks of memory processing. But the body doubles up on almost everything, so as long as the damage is maintained within one hemisphere and doesn't affect the brain stem directly, yes you can lose up to half your brain and still live.

The spark needed to ignite the gunpowder hole was probably cause because of the "Iron" rod itself which is prone to making sparks with friction.

7:33 Actually- it depends on *what part of the brain* is damaged or lost (physically or mentally). It is most likely that Gage lost a portion of his prefrontal cortex / frontal lobe (it depends on the side. The right and left both deal with language / personality but each are responsible for different aspects of them) that dealt with his personality & behavior, leading to his aggression and flipped attitude as given by Sam's description of Gage normally being a decent citizen.

'For some reason'. This method of drilling was dangerous because: There's rocks in the ground. You're ramming an iron rod into a random hole you just drilled into the ground, where there might be a rock, you don't know. Sometimes when iron hits certain rocks just right sparks happen. And you are doing this to pack said hole tightly with a powder that does not much like coming into contact with sparks. Gage was tamping the powder with an iron tamping pole, hit a rock, and sparks happened and the powder went off. This was a COMMON OCCURANCE doing that particular job, and killed a LOT of railroad workers.

I seriously can’t imagine being the healthcare workers treating those patients. I originally was an X-ray technician and I’ve seen some painful things, the worst was a foot that was only hanging on by the tissue and we had to position a basically severed foot. But the head injuries here are crazy. I now work in IT, so not directly with patients.

Anyone who sees this and enjoys books. I cannot reccomend A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. Its a bit aged now, but it feels reflective more than aged in the typical sense.

Phineas gage was extremely important for developing our understanding of the brain. Youre exactly right about not all the parts of the brain being quite necessary for survival. Phineas' injury, among others, helped us understand that brains are organized into sections that have different responsibilities. By observing what abilities patients like Gage lost, we slowly figured out what did what in the brain

5:24 he had a little chuckle in his voice

I love this setup G

Dope set-up man

A key note about Gage is that the rod went through the frontal lobe specifically. That’s the part of the brain responsible for processing emotions and personality, in addition to your inhibitions. Him becoming more impulsive and hot tempered definitely makes sense given the material he lost.

These “fact checking” websites could be dangerous

It's amazing you are history teacher and don't know about Gage. We learn about him in Psychology 101, he was the case study that led us to the conclusion that the prefrontal cortex has a lot to do with stuff like impulse inhibition and personality. Not in a bad way btw, its actually amazing how you can be such an expert on history, but there's always more to learn, even something considered basic level in a separate field. Learning is awesome

The drill bit was shallow to the inner face of the side of his skull. And secondly looks like a large wood bit, and they don't have much room between the corkscrew element. Your brain would need protrusions to be able to be caught in the spacings.

I can explain the first guy. It damaged his prefrontal cortex, which is not needed to live. Most animals don't even have one. It's main purpose is to suppress impulses. Naturally without one you become a violent dummy with no self control. Hence why it is mostly inactive in psychopaths and people with addictions. In OCD it's over active because it's trying really hard to suppress impulses, but not having much success. Fun fact. Stress hormones turn off your pfc. Hence why the more stressed you get the more crazy you act. Chronic childhood stress prevents it from developing, and the younger the trauma happens the worse an impact it has.

0:56 mr Terry is a epic gamer

This man just showing off his collection now

The reason the earth gun went off on Phineas Gage is that his tamping iron struck a spark on the rock. Seems like they skipped the step of pouring sand in the hole on top of the powder before tamping.

The brain is a crazy thing, there are people who have had most of theirs destroyed and don't even notice, I'm not sure if that say's much or little about the brain or the person.. but it's still an amazing little engine.

I like how the thumbnail has the exact text and coloring of the cover art from The Black Keys album "Brothers"

My lord, this is something else...

i think the way gage set off his planet-gun was just friction between the gunpowder and the tamping iron

I'm not a brain surgeon, but the way that the drill bit is shaped, as well as where it entered might have something to do with how it just kinda smooshed the brain out of the way

The brain, like every other organ in the human body, is very wet and squishy. Try stabbing a water balloon with a knife without holding it down. You might pop it, but there's a good chance it'll just slide away from the tip without any damage. Our organs would rather be compressed rather than rupture, so sometimes when sharp things stab into us, our organs will wiggle around it.

Ok I'm not an expert (on anything) But i saw on Dr.Stone(an anime) that with the smallest spark from iron with a rock composed of flint or iron itself, can go *boom* real quick. So yeah he basically got shot by a cannon/gun

I like that the far end of the fragile wimp-agile pimp scale is Daniel Dancer, Diogenes, and Michael Malloy.

I have to guess what happened was the sharp tip of the bit didn't hit his brain and the lumps that cut the spiral must've just pushed it aside

This man is a legend

Damn. Missed this one. This'll be nice

Regarding the first story, as far as I understand, black powder (gunpowder) while not volatile, just has a tendency to go off whenever it likes (sorta), and modern day smokeless powder, while more volatile, has less tendency to just go off whenever.

There are little gaps between the brain and the skull (I don’t think it fits in there super snug). It’s possible the screw was smaller in diameter than what was shown in the video , making it able to slide through those gaps easier.

In psychology it tells us that gage had a special metal tapping stick which struck the side of the hole and cause the ignition

I am not a doctor but I do know drill bits since I deal with them all the time and it is very possible for a drill bit to just push the brain away since drill bits aren’t exactly sharp. Like the sharpest pet of the bit is the tip and with it looking like it was a 2 pronged tip rather than a 4 pronged it is very possible that happened

I don't usually like reaction channels, but those old videos to videos like 2 girls one cup and these type of educational commentary reactions as well as how Angry Joe does reacting to trailers are totally fine. Keep up the good work, teach! Also Shiva Gautama Christ-chan is making fun of Chris Chan along with those gods as Chris believes he's a goddess. Clever

Dynamite was a huge step towards safer explosives. Before dynamite there was powder or nitroglycerin. Both were extremly dangerous to transport and handle as it would go boom at the drop of a hat. Mere static elecricity would set it off.
