" Phineas Gage's case is not the only important
historical source in the effort to understand the neural basis of
reasoning and decision making...[to understand the effect of] prefrontal damage. ... The Hebb-Penfield and Ackerly-Benton shared a number
of personality traits...One way of describing their predicament
is by saying that they never construct an appropriate theory about
their persons. "
