What caution does the chapter attach to the famous case of Phineas Gage?

1. Gage survived an iron rod passing through his skull in 1848 and remained conscious, able to get up, walk and speak. 2. Over the following months his behaviour was reported to change from well-mannered and soft-spoken to odd and inappropriate, consistent with a loss of impulse control, a frontal lobe function. 3. The chapter then adds a caution: there is some evidence suggesting that the dramatic changes in his personality were exaggerated and embellished. 4. It places the case inside a nineteenth-century debate over localization, in which scientists working from extremely limited information tended to find support for whichever view they already held. 5. Options A and D contradict the account directly, and the damage was to the prefrontal cortex rather than the occipital lobe. _Source: OpenStax Psychology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 3 "Biopsychology", §3.4 The Brain and Spinal Cord_
