Document Summary
The medulla is a region in the hindbrain that can be further divided into several sub regions. Rostral (towards the top), ventral (in front of the neuraxis), and medial (towards the midline of the brain) It takes special techniques to study the structure and function of the brain. Lesion studies, single cell stimulation and recording with popular neuroimaging techniques. Brain injury links brain anatomy with behavioural deficits. In 1848 phineas gage was a foreman of a railway construction crew and he was known to be intelligent, full of life and likable. An accident occurred and a rod went through his cheek bone and and he was known to be intelligent, full of life and likable. An accident occurred and a rod went through his cheek bone and into the front part of his brain, and this resulted in him becoming selfish, profane, erratic and unreliable.
