That photo is captivating. (Of course, I find most photos of that era to be fascinating.) I wonder if they can somehow conclusively prove that it is a photo of Phineas Gage? I think it's really interesting that it calls into question what's widely "known" about Gage's case -- it seems to me that brains are unpredictable even in the best of circumstances. I don't think we have any way of knowing just how the accident changed him, just as we would not necessarily be able to predict how a similar accident would alter someone it happened to now.
