Question:
Like Phineas Gage, damage to the brain can happen from a number of incidents and damage can be sustained to many parts of the brain. Without using the case of Phineas Gage, find a case where a patient sustained damage somewhere to the brain.
Describe the case, analyze the damage, what are some of the side effects from a psychology basis, research what procedures/methods can/may be used, or experimented with, to help the patient in terms of recovering, if they can recover at all, or at least improve their functioning again. List the incident, list the damage to what parts of the brain, and research/list the procedures.
What research can back up your claim of it working or not working and explain. Again, this needs to be a well thought out discussion because others may agree or disagree with you (as is in the medical field)
