Fallout healthcare, rather. This is in Miniscule Task’s Fallout: Equestria setting.
Not really, it’s more that the frontal lobe is where restraint and reason reside, so the damage made him more impulsive and less reasonable.
From what I’ve read, he recovered somewhat over the years, most likely due to what was left of his left frontal lobe rerouting to compensate.
That said, I’m no neurologist and am going on memory, so don’t take my word for it.
I mean the fact that one half of his brain was still fully intact meant it likely took over a bit of the leg work of the other side.
I don’t know the specifics so it’s w/e, just a thought.
Not really, since the damage was to Gage’s frontal lobe, not his corpus callosum.
That’s basically an example of the Dual-consciousness theory

Phineas Gage. Very much an extreme example, but goes to show.
@Dark Tail
in fact, there was a fairly famous case where a miner got a metal pole shot through his skull by an explosion, totally ruined one part of his brain but the dude kept living for a few years
the only noticeable difference in how he lived his life was his personality completely changed
No, this happens in real life sometimes, too.
