Changes in personality.
the frontal lobe of cortex
The frontal lobe contains the personality and perception of time and space. Damaging the frontal lobe would probably change a persons personality. A pre-frontal lobotomy has been preformed on patients that had excessive behaviors. The procedure, now abandoned, made the patients meek, useless and sometimes just staring into space.
The frontal section of the brain is responsible for the human behavor. Most criminal behavor comes from being hit or damaged.
Frontal lobe dementia is a degenerative condition of the front part of the brain. There are several different types of damaged nerve cells found in the brain of a patient with frontal lobe dementia and two of these contain abnormal levels of tau proteins.
underdeveloped frontal lobes make you a social weirdo and you just don't fit in with people look up Phineas Gage source: Thinking About Psychology by Charles Blair-Broeker, Randal Ernst, David Myers. Worth Publishers, 2008.

It means that the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain have degenerated, they aren't working as well or have been damaged. The frontal lobe is in the front of the brain and the temperal lobes are on the sides of the brain.
The incident showed that injury to the brain (such as an iron rod going through a person's frontal cortex) could lead to behavior change.
Poor judgement, lack of inhibition, urinary incontinence, Broca's aphasia, disorders of voluntary motor functions, etc. It mostly depends on what part of the frontal love is damaged.

Phineas Gage was in a horrible accident. He survived for another eleven years following the accident. The accident description is that an iron rod was driven completely through his head destroying the majority of the left frontal lobe and affecting his memory, behavior, and personality.
