This seminar is an introduction to the approach developed by the British neurologist Hughlings Jackson in the last century, which focuses on the eluciation of the principles underlying the organization, disorganization, and reorganization of brain function. Presentation of four remarkable cases will demonstrate important reorganizational principles. These cases include neuropsychological findings and video clips of hemispherectomy, commissurotomy, and hydrocephalus patients.
