Becoming Brain Experts Research points that Eduardo Leite’s horrible accident, did not affect him as it affected Phineas Gage in the 19th century. Both survived the accident, which gouged their frontal lobe. Sadly, Mr. Gage behavior changed negatively to the point that his former employees did not take him back. On Eduardo Laite’s case in recent years, a pole pierced his frontal lobe, apparently missing the area of self-control, high level decision making, problem solving, and social behavior. As a consequence, he is behaving normally according to his Luiz A. Essinger his main doctor. He went to surgery and he recover satisfactorily. His only symptom is some pain that comes and goes unexpectedly, However, Marla Hemberger, a brain researcher

As their bodies deteriorated, however, their minds stayed strong: “Given how badly the men’s bodies were faring, it would seem likely that their minds, too, would begin to fail. But more than five weeks into their ordeal, both Louie and Phil were enjoying remarkable precision of mind, and were convinced that they were growing sharper every day” (173). Through his outstanding actions towards Phil and through his mind’s keenness, Louie’s intelligence flourished. Finally, after many weeks at

In his book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Trials, Oliver Sacks accounts some interesting encounters with his patients (or “clients” as he believes is a more respectable term to call them). He has organized his collection of case studies by the neurologic disorder themes of the clients: Losses, Excesses, Transports, and the World of the Simple. The first part of the book is a collection of neurological disorders that Sacks categories as losses, or deficits. He describes their difference from typical deficits, as they originated in the right-hemisphere of the brain rather than left-hemisphere and have not been studied as much.
In my understanding, we answer the interrogatory on behalf of Luis Garcia, he is the one that has a contact with Ms. Osorio and he will attend the process in Jew Jersey. For IDMJI- Florida, many answers we have insufficient knowledge, but for some others Br. Luis Garcia gives us additional information that could help in our
They discovered a tumor in his brain, known as pilocytic astrocytoma. After an unsuccessful surgery that caused the tumor to come back later, they saw a story of Ben Carson operating
“All the hard work in the world won’t overcome a brain-based deficit” (Grandin and Panek 2). To say that copious amounts of practice alone will make a person an expert is an “injustice to the naturally gifted and a disservice to the naturally ungifted” (2). Our brains, as human beings, simply do not allow us to be an expert at something solely by practice. A person could become great at something through practice, but they must first have the genetic capacity to learn and excel at it.
According to Source A, The Ever-Plastic Brain, “Cognitive processes that rely on the prefrontal cortex, including many executive functions such as the ability to inhibit automatic behavior, undergo substantial and protracted development in adolescence.” Phineas’ prefrontal cortex is having damage and adolescent's prefrontal cortex is still growing. This makes finding many things difficult but also easy because they have a few of the same outcomes. However, Phineas’ frontal lobe injury caused his brain to never be the same. So be said, “The iron passage left him alive and conscious but forever changed” (Pg. 253 picture description).
Imagine that you were Phineas Gage's coworker looking at a huge iron rod go through the pointy end of a rod enter his left cheekbone, pass behind his left eye, through the front of his brain, and out the middle of his forehead just above the hairline. Phineas Gage: A Gruesome but True Story About Brain Science mentions the process of how the accident happened and the recovery after the accident, the Inventing Ourselves: The Secret Life of a Teenage Brain then cites the process of a teenage brain and showing the thought process of the teenage brain. Both of these texts help tie together the connection of Phineas Gage and the adolescent brain. Phineas Gage was involved in an experiment that went wrong and let's just say it ended with a tamping iron straight through his head. After the tamping iron accident, Phineas's behavior and brain begin to be more similar to an adolescent's behavior and brain because he has made some very impulsive, made risky decisions, and used lots of vulgar language towards women, coworkers, and his peers.
The appellant, Sue Rodriguez, suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Under this condition, Sue will lose the ability to swallow, speak, walk, and move her body without assistance.

This can be accomplished with the assistance of a qualified physician.
Nonfiction Critique: Phineas Gage: A Gruesome but True Story About Brain Science John Fleischman’s book, Phineas Gage: A Gruesome but True Story About Brain Science published by the Houghton Mifflin Company in Boston in 2002, is an intriguing retelling of the almost unbelievable event that literally changed the man named Phineas Gage. The author reconstructions for the reader the events that transpire before and after an iron spear-like object is rocketed through the head of Phineas Gage and how the man recovers, but also does not. Fleischman expertly walks along the line of scientific fact and interest and gruesome detail. He uses the fascinating story of Phineas Gage to analyze and deconstruct a very detailed and complex science surrounding the human brain, and makes the material readable and accessible to a younger age bracket. The use of scientific terms paired with simplistic explanations and occasional parenthetical definitions aid in the understanding of the difficult content at hand.
Even his speech due to the fact that it takes him awhile to speak a full sentence. With his movement his arms move non-stop or stay in one place. Sometimes he is stuck where he is sitting until he is able to move once again. This is how he was before he had a procedure. After the procedure he was like a new man.
