no, the big piece to take from Gage is localization of function

modern neuroscience has since made the findings from the mid 1800s sort of irrelevant

what studies are you talking about? I'll try to give you a better context if I know what you are talking about

i read that the frontal lobe is responsible for your morality etc (amongst other things) in PSY 101 😮

oh....

ok, thats like saying that wheels are responsible for a car stopping and starting.

that bad, huh? 😮

Well I think it's mainly that trying to break the brain down into a couple large pieces is an excercise that's doomed to failure. The brain is heavily interconnected and while things are somewhat localized it's a gross over simplification to say that any of the lobes are singly responsible for certain behaviors.
