1.1 Can Brain Damage Cause a Personality Disorder?

Clinical researchers do not fully understand the causes of personality differences or personality disorders. Biological factors may play a key role. This video explores personality, including its neural links, by focusing on the case of a man who has a degenerative brain disorder. The video describes the changes in his personality and creativity, and ties those changes to changes in his brain. It also explores various explanations for personality changes as a result of brain disorders.
