Dr. Harlow writes Phineas’ mother and request to dig up Phineas’ body and use it for science to help understand the body and brain better. His mother does however allow for this to happen. So in 1868 Dr. Harlow goes to the Medical Society in Massachusetts and tells them everything and anything about Phineas, his accident, and how it affected him mentally, emotionally, and physically. Brain science begins to unravel and is broken down and new questions are raised and new things are made. But no one questions they still left unanswered was: “If there are exact locations in the brain that allow for the ability to hear or to breathe, is there a place that generates human social behavior? If that place is damaged, do you stop acting human?”
