"Seemingly the first German account of the noted neurological case of Phineas P. Gage, probably the most famous patient to have survived severe damage to the brain. This present translation is based upon the account published in the July issue of the American Journal of the Medical Sciences in 1850, Dr Harlow's case of recovery from the passage of an Iron Bar through the Head (AJMS 20: 13- 22, also published separately by T. K Collins in Philadelphia in 1850). Phineas Gage (1823-1860) was a railroad construction worker who suffered severe cerebral trauma as a result of a blast which forced a tamping iron bar through his head, entering point first under his left cheek bone and exiting completely out through the top of his head. Though inflicting severe damage to parts of his frontal brain he reputedly walked away from the accident, though his recovery was slow and complicated, with Gage reportedly experiencing significant changes in personality and temperament. He was initially treated by John Martyn Harlow, before coming under the scrutiny of Henry Bigelow. It soon became a noted case study, seemingly providing some of the first evidence that different parts of the brain, particularly the frontal lobes, might be involved in specific psychological processes dealing with emotion, personality and problem solving. Both Harlow, and Bigelow as here, wrote initial accounts, with Harlow publishing a later analysis in 1869. Though clearly an extraordinary case, recent studies, notably by Malcolm Macmillan, throw some doubt on how much can actually be learnt from the case, taking into account that we know very little precise information about Gage's temperament before the accident, and that much written about him during his remaining years, may in fact be the subject of fancy and fabrication. Nevertheless a fascinating account of a still much studied and debated case." Deborah Coltham, Cat.
