Jennings (not, as many believe, John B. Watson). He earned the

Karl Lashley was a neuroscientist known for his research on the localization of brain function. His theory of mass action proposed that different areas of the brain work together as a whole rather than having specific functions localized in distinct regions. This theory was influential in shaping our understanding of brain function and plasticity.
