    Brain injuries can have significant impacts on behavior, personality, and cognitive functioning depending on the location and severity of the injury. Injuries to areas like the frontal and temporal lobes are associated with changes in impulsivity, memory, and mood, as seen in cases like Phineas Gage and Bob Woodruff. Even mild injuries in sensitive areas like the occipital lobe can cause temporary blindness or issues with coordination as was the case for Abraham Lincoln, Amy Davis, and Roald Dahl.
