Resumen
John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911) es considerado uno de los padres de la neurología inglesa. Su obra clásica A study of convulsions (1869) marcó un hito en el estudio de las epilepsias. Sus publicaciones fueron tan numerosas como novedosas. Realizó importantes aportes a la metodología del examen neurológico, en neurooftalmología, localización cerebral del lenguaje y neurobiología evolutiva. Este artículo muestra una breve reseña de su vida y obra, transcurrida casi toda durante el período victoriano (Acta Neurol Colomb 2006;22:257-260).
