No studies of Phineas Gage's brain were made<br />

post mortem. Late in 1867 his body was<br />

exhumed, and his skull and the tamping iron<br />

sent to Dr. Harlow, then in Woburn (MA).<br />

Harlow reported his findings, including his<br />

estimate of the brain damage, in 1868. He<br />

then gave the skull and tamping iron to what<br />

became the Warren Museum of the Medical<br />

School of Harvard Univers<strong>it</strong>y where they were<br />

much studied. They are now on display at<br />

Harvard's Countway Library of Medicine.
