Im sure this question has been asked and answered a 1000 times, but never to 
me.  I have, in many a classes, been given the example of the man who was a 
nice steel worker, and then one day, whap! a metal pole through the middle 
of the head.  From then on he had a whole new personality, and saw the world 
from what could truly be though of as new eyes.  My question is this, im not 
so concerned if he has a sole, and if so why does the brain affect it... im 
much more interested in how much effect massive brain trauma can have on the 
congnitive process.  If some one is brain damaged, do the actually, 
cognitivly, process the world different, or are they merely less able to 
express how they process it.  If the latter, then why would their entire 
view points change.  If the former, what parts of the body are the most 
influenced by physical trauma  (not to mention emotional).  Are their 
studies showing brain activity to lend to a conclusion, one way or the 
other?
