@logidias.bsky.social🎬 Imagine an iron rod, 3 feet long, 1.25 inches thick, blown clean through a man's skull. He didn't die. He even *walked away*. This is the impossible true story of Phineas Gage. #PhineasGage #TrueStory

@mabelquill.bsky.socialPhineas Gage Survives the Impossible On September 13, 1848, Phineas Gage survived a tamping iron passing through his skull, creating a landmark case in the study of brain injury. #TodayInHistory #MabelQuill #PhineasGage #BrainScience #MedicalHistory #HistoryTok #HistoryFacts #LearnHistory #fyp
@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialIn a case that remains a fixture in #neuroscience textbooks, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1848 #Vermont railroad worker #PhineasGage survived an iron rod passing through his head, largely destroying his left frontal lobe. His personality changes taught us much about brain structures.
@theoff-keybard.bsky.social But the story didn't end with “Gage was no longer Gage.”
His later life may also tell us something remarkable about the brain's ability to adapt.
