The human brain has five divisions. They start forming in the vertebrae embryo as the tissue that eventually develops into the central nervous system. The first developments of the brain are three swellings that appear at the anterior end of a fluid filled tube. These swellings eventually become the forebrain‚ midbrain‚ and hindbrain. What happens is‚ the forebrain swelling grows into two different swellings and so does the hindbrain swelling. This is what makes up the five divisions of the brain

perform an autopsy to try to find any physical evidence for their study. Broca (1861) found that people with damage to the left frontal lobe were unable to create grammatically complex sentences. Despite this‚ his patients were able to understand speech from other people. Wernicke (1874)‚ on the other hand‚ found that people with damage to the left posterior superior temporal gyrus had trouble with language comprehension. However‚ these patients‚ unlike Broca’s‚ were able to produce complex speech.

physician J.M Harlow recognized some significant changes in his personality and described him as having little restraint‚ using extremely rude language‚ and making grand plans for the future that would be instantly replaced with others. Because the frontal lobe of the brain was damaged‚ Gage became disinhibited which meant he wanted to start doing things that might he might normally have stopped himself from doing. Although he wanted to continue working‚ his impulsive and rude behavior was not conductive

Frontal Lobe: situated at the front of the brain and it is responsible for decision making‚ problem solving‚ controlling behaviour‚ emotions and conscious thought. Parietal Lobe: is situated in the cerebral cortex and is concerned with sensory information‚ putting things in order and spacial awareness. Temporal lobe: is situated
