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.
Answer: If someone discovered a formula that would enable us to live forever, then we would have more time to be with our friends and family. This formula would be a blessing, not a curse. ... The formula that allows people to live forever is definitely a blessing. Though discoveing a formula for eternal life would be a miracle but it would not have good outcomes.Because its action would only be to prolog the life quantity but not to improve its quality.As the life goes on and the man starts getting older, his or her capabilities also start declining.So having a very long life is not a good idea from this point of view.
similarly,the population rise would be in forward direction and there will be no decline in olders to give their place to the coming new younger population.In this way population burst may occur and it may lead to depletion of resources.And hunger may prevail everywhere.The number of dependents would be more than earning members and it may lead to crash of country’s economy.So formula for being eternal would be a curse for this earth.And yes if it happens it should also have ability to improve quality of life as well.
Explanation:
To Kill a Mockingbird is about two young kids name Scout and jem they're trying to figure out if the house next to them is really haunted and if boo Riley was a real person and if he was still alive so they would play games or run into his yard to see if they could find out if he was still alive basically and their father he was trying to help a black man name Tom Robinson's get out of jail because he did not do anything wrong but that didn't turn out the way they wanted it to be because everyone that lives there were racist and they didn't accept any black person so the court decided to send Tom Robinson's to jail for a crime he did not commit but as he was going to do he ended up running out of the car and getting shot in the head but basically this whole story just comes up you never judge a book by its cover that's all I really know about the story but I've been reading this book for the last 2 years already
