Hughlings Jackson believed that seizures were electrical discharges within the brain. The discharges started at one point and radiated out from that point. This suggested to him that the brain was divided into different sections, and that each section controlled the motor function (or movement) of a different part of the body. And since the pattern never varied, the way the brain is organized must also be set. Jackson's research on epilepsy stretched across a broad spectrum and included uncinate attacks, intellectual aurae, and many other manifestations, which are now collectively covered by the term temporal lobe epilepsy.
