Phineas Gage

[MsMarianaCO]

Hey thanks really great vid!! So helpful for my school practice :)

[2WAYFM]

I watched this with my 8 year old son and you really told this story so well . . . you showed respect and made sure the tale was engaging. Thank you for all the hard work that went into this. Top stuff.

Was Phineas dumb?

[usernameyoudick]

You should read "An Odd Kind of Fame: Stories of Phineas Gage" by Malcolm McMillan. Most of the assertions about Gage's personality changes were either greatly exaggerated or flat-out lies. Any severe changes occurred during the time immediately following his injury and during his recovery. Many scientists studying brain function in the 19th century tended to exaggerate Gage's changes in order to advance their own pet hypotheses about neurology and the emotion centers of the brain.

[Legopro777]

You didn't say anything about when he threw up little pieces of brain!

[SaturnGirlDark13]

2:13 omigosh. my ex bf said he wrote a song and half of it was just this. he totally lied to me! lmao

[pivotmasterdx56]

so after he got hit, your saying he cursed frequently?

[emaildude99]

What the fuck? Is this some fucking child's coloring book? Seriously! He's gritting at 1:08 like he is getting a blow job or some stupid shit.

[SolidGaby]

[wweadx2]

[eduoahu]

[renzonavarro]

Hi, nice history!, and also nice music!!!, could you tell what is the name of the groups and the songs that you used in this video?

Thanks

[klangberg]

@renzonavarro its all music that comes with garage band and imovie for mac

[aramis1977n]

Hollywood should make a movie where he's still alive trolling the woods where it happened, hunting down rich college kids on vacation, and impaling them on his "stake". Then the sequel could have him teaming up with Jason.

[SubzeroFusion]

@aramis1977n he waz trollin' thru the woods

[forestskog]

@aramis1977n ha ha I love it!!!

[ttw09bilkent]

Hi I love this and used it in my Freshman ESL class in Turkey. Unfortunately the music is a bit loud in some places so it's difficult to hear. I'd love to see a version without music if possible. The sts really liked it! BRAVO!

[jenniferwinget123]

haha good job:) we hadto watch this fer language arts

[FydoTheGreat]

I has to watch this for school :p

[klangberg]

Cool! what school/grade? I hope it was helpful!

[SuperFunny7]

it kinda sad that he lost his true personnality

[jellibaybi]

This was so good! It really helped me for my psychology assignment! Thanks xxx

[CharmedGirl47]

What is the music used at 2:13?

[klangberg]

Its a garageband loop called keyed nordic fiddle

[CharmedGirl47]

Thanks!

[Priiiide]

This is a really good video. Im studying for my psychology exam at uni, and I'd rather watch this instead of reading endless amounts of pointless dull notes :)

Thanks!

[RenaTsyunamikito]

This is awesome! Well done and amusing. Poor Phineas....

[laradactyl]

Fantastic!! A great piece to share with my class.

[jared20134]

ohhhh ok, so the tamping iron flew straight out of his head......i always thought it got lodged in his brain and stayed there for the rest of his life......would have been more interesting that way

[theoraclemachine]

bloody brilliant...
