Impolite Society: Exploring the Weird, Taboo & Macabre

Traumatic Brain Injuries: When Good Brains Go Bad


Listen Later

In this episode of Impolite Society, Lara and Rachel delve into the complexities and mysteries of the human brain. Starting with traumatic brain injuries, they explore how incidents like Phineas Gage's railroad accident reveal the brain's impact on personality and behavior. 

From there we unpack various brain anomalies, including hemispatial neglect, blindsight, and cases like Henry Molaison’s that offer a fascinating look at how brain injuries can radically alter one's experience of reality. 

Perfect for curious minds, we're combining humor and research into a wormhole of an episode about the most complicated organ in the human body.
