How did the case of Phineas Gage help doctors to better understand the human brain? (Don't forget the RACE strategy! R-Restate t

Musya8 [376]

To answer the question of how Phineas Gage' brain accident helped Doctors better understand the human brain and in a more general sense the human mind, first we need to know some details about the case.

In September 1848 the life of a young worker of the train rails turned around forever due to a working accident. Phineas' work consisted on blowing up rocks using explosives using black powder. It was because of that that the accident took place.

The accident of Phineas is important because it changed the way doctors, more specifically neurologists; see the human brain and their functions. Before the accident and the later documentation of it, doctors had never associated the physical aspects of the brain to behavior, emotions and the "soul". They had never linked that the emotions and actions could be affected by specific parts of the brain.

Here we have evidence to support these assumptions:

"The damage to Gage’s frontal cortex caused by the iron rod seems to have resulted in a loss of social inhibitions. The role of the frontal cortex in social cognition and decision making is now well-recognized; in the 19th century, however, neurologists were only just beginning to realize these connections. Gage’s injuries provided some of the first evidence that the frontal cortex was involved in personality and behavior."

As we can read in the citation above, it was due to Gage's accident that the doctors started to link to a specific area of the brain, the Frontal Cortex, to behavioral changes.

Write a story that ends with I had never felt embarrassed in my life

Feliz [49]

Answer:

A STORY ON EMBARASSMENT

It was a cold and smooth day, I was turning 18 and I was really happy that I was finally getting legal. I could now ride a car, get a driver's license, get my own apartment, go to college and live my life the way I please without anyone dictating for me.

A day after my birthday, I got a car, an apartment and a job together with an admissions to college. I became so happy and I thanked God for that.

Three years after my 18th, I became so proud because I was earning money from the job i got and i had become so rich that I could afford whatever I wanted. I bought a new house, a new car, changed my wardrobe and did many other things.

A year after, I forgot about my academics because of money and I started disrespecting my parents because I could now afford what they couldn't. I started paying people to write my examinations and tests.

I can recall a day that my parents called me to the house and I went, then they advised me to stop doing what i am doing that i should write my examinations by myself and that I should not let money be like everything to me. I insulted them and left the house.

I came back to school and I was doing drugs, not copying my notes, paying people to write my examinations, going to clubs and so on. Then, my school found out and expelled me and right now, no university would want to accept me.

I lost my job because of the news, my parents disowned me and now I have become a beggar. One day, I went to the street and I was begging and a child said "look at that guy who was on the news the other day for doing drugs" and everyone were snapping and making videos of me and even news channel came and the police came and arrested me. I regretted ever doing this. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
