  Yes it can do,
  
  one of the first pieces that got me interested in psychology when I heard about this guy who had an accident and had a rod then went through his socket and in to his brain. He survived but his personality changed. It was one of the first studies to identify how the brain and mind is linked. well to me anyway!
