Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phineas Gage survived the railroad accident but suffered major damage in his frontal lobes, making his case significant for understanding the role of these lobes in behavior and personality. His case did not support equipotentiality (the idea that all parts of the brain are equally important in any function), and he was not studied by Paul Broca (who is best known for his work on language processing in the brain).
