  John Hughlings Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Hughlings Jackson, FRS (March 4, 1835 - October 7, 1911), was an English neurologist; born at Providence, Green Hammerton, Yorkshire.
He 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 had no possibility of recourse to modern sophisticated neuro-investigative technology, but had to rely upon his own powers of clinical observation and deductive logic.
