Phineas
Gage,
A Gruesome but True Story about Brain Science
by
John Fleischman
If
an explosion sent a steel rod through your head, would you be able to
get up? Would you be able to walk and talk? Could you tell your doctor
what happened to you? Amazingly, Phineas Gage did! But, could he make
a complete recovery with a big hunk of his brain missing?
Through
the unfolding, fascinating story of Phineas Gage's life after the accident,
you will see the growth of doctors' understanding of the brain and how
it works. You'll love the gruesome illustrations, too!

While sitting
at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise
circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6"
in the air with your right hand. [Your foot will likely change
direction, and there's nothing you can actually do about it.]
