Question 2
Why is the unusual case of Phineas Gage instructive for understanding the relationship between personality and the brain?
◦ Gage was born without a frontal lobe and, correspondingly, lacked any sense of conscientiousness.
◦ It was the first demonstration of how an alteration in personality could lead to deterioration of brain tissue.

◦ It presented a rare opportunity to see how radical changes to the physical brain affect observable personality characteristics.
