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.
Karl Lashley was born on 1890-06-07.
Karl Lashley died on 1958-08-07.
Karl Lashley's PhD adviser was the zoologist Herbert Spencer Jennings (not, as many believe, John B. Watson). He earned the degree in 1914 at Johns Hopkins University.

Karl Lashley proposed the principle of equipotentiality, suggesting that all parts of the brain are equally capable of taking over the functions of damaged areas. This idea challenges the notion of localized brain function and emphasizes the brain's capacity for flexibility and reorganization in response to injury. Lashley's work laid the foundation for our understanding of neural plasticity and the brain's ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
