 John Hughlings Jackson (www.whonamedit.com)
John Hughlings Jackson was the son of Samuel Jackson, a yeoman who owned and farmed his land and the former Sarah Hughlings, the daughter of a Welsh revenue collector.
Jackson attended small country schools, and little is known of this period of his early life, except that he attended schools at Green Hammerton and Tadcaster in Yorkshire as well as a school at Nailsworth in Gloucestershire.
Jackson began as assistant physician in 1862, he was elevated to full physician in 1867, and from 1896 to 1906 he was a consulting physician.

Indeed, it was a hallmark of Jackson’s work that his general theory of the functional architecture of brain systems could be used to elucidate not only exceptional mental states of the sort just listed but even the effects of nervous diseases as varied as muscular atrophy, hemiplegia, paralysis agitans, epilepsy, chorea, and aphasia.
Jackson’s most famous application of his evolutionary theory of brain systems was to the analysis of the post-seizure disorders of epilepsy; and for the purpose of illustrating his theory, this application will be briefly described.
While Jackson’s specific contributions to our understanding of the etiology, course, and treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy were of great importance, it was his evolutionary, hierarchical, systemic, sensori-motor conception of cerebral function that was of greatest interest.

 Hughlings Jackson, John - Talk Medical
John Hughlings Jackson has been called the "father of English neurology." Jackson made a number of scientific discoveries in several areas of higher nervous activity and language, and contributed greatly to the study of various types of epilepsy.
Jackson's research on epilepsy stretched across a broad spectrum and included uncinate attacks, intellectual aurae, and many other manifestations, which are now collectively covered by the term temporal lobe epilepsy.
Hughlings Jackson was among the first to recognize the pattern of disease of the cerebellum.

 Mind, Brain, and Adaptation
While Jackson's specific contributions to our understanding of the etiology, course, and treatment of neurological disorders ranging from aphasia and chorea to epilepsy and vertigo were of exceptional importance, it is his evolutionary conception of the localization of sensory-motor function in the cerebrum that was most influential for psychology.
Jackson's paper, "On the anatomical & physiological localisation of movements in the brain," serialized in the Lancet in 1873, is representative of a series of papers during this period that reflect the sensory-motor conception.
Influenced as Jackson had been by Bain and Spencer, Ferrier set out to test Jackson's notion that sensory-motor functions must be represented in an organized fashion in the cortex and to extend Fritsch and Hitzig's experimental localization of motor cortex in the dog.

 Hughlings Jackson's Heterogram
Jackson's solution to this paradox was to suppose that, in any arbitrary piece of cortex the face, hand, and leg were all represented, but unequally.
Before elaborating on Jackson's scheme, including a consideration of how it is related to holograms, it may be helpful to digress briefly into the nature of brain modeling, from a historical point of view.
Jackson's heterogeneous hologram can be seen as a generalization of which the optical hologram and a system of compartmentalized "centers" are boundary (that is, oppositely extreme) cases.

Jackson spent most of his career at the National Hospital in Queen Square, London, where he conducted pioneering studies of epilepsy, aphasia, and paralysis.

His collaboration with John Holland, Keith Holyoak, and Paul Thagard resulted in Induction: Processes of Inference, Learning, and Discovery (1986), which attempted to integrate a descriptive and normative analysis of human inductive inference.
