Correct answer: Frontal lobe

An iron rod pierced Phineas Gage's left frontal lobe in 1848. While he survived the accident and kept his memories, his friends reported he was no longer himself. This historic case helped scientists first realize that the frontal lobe is heavily involved in personality, decision-making, and social behavior.
