Another structure that has an impact upon the brain is the human heart. Although located outside of the brain, it has direct influences upon the mind. The heart, like the brain, is comprised of four lobes or chambers and has many functions, one of which—as we all well know—is to pump blood to all of the body’s vital organs, including the brain. However, another function, which is not well known, involves the direct communication between the heart and the frontal lobe (“Science of the heart,” 2010). When the heart and brain are in sync, we make wise decisions; we check with our heart and validate with our mind.

When we look back at our introduction, in the case of Eadweard Muybridge, we see a contrast in his behavior before and after his accident. Prior to the accident he was sensitive to the feelings of others (he had a caring heart), carried himself with dignity and respect, and exhibited sound judgment. However, after the accident he had a marked personality change. We need only to look at his behavior to pinpoint the lobe in which he incurred damage. In his case it was the orbital prefrontal lobe; his judgment was obviously way off. He was dressing oddly, stopped bathing, and did the unthinkable—murdered a man. Due to this frontal lobe injury, he was not able to resist, override, and suppress his wrong behaviors, nor was he capable of exhibiting empathy—all because of an unfortunate accident.
