John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911) was a British neurologist renowned for his research on epilepsy. Beyond his work as a clinician, his overall intuitive grasp of neuroscience is particularly remarkable-he consistently proposed foundational concepts. This essay explains the theoretical aspects of Jackson's work that influenced contemporary neuroscience. It focuses specifically on his theoretical challenge to transcend both localizationism and holism within his extensive body of work and on his proposed duality of neural processes, which emerged as he sought to identify evolutionary hierarchies.
