Answer
The major contribution of Charles Sherrington to neurology was his evidence for the all-or-none law of nerves. This law states that a nerve fiber either fires completely or not at all. This was a significant discovery because it helped to explain how nerve impulses are transmitted. Sherrington also made contributions to the understanding of synaptic transmission and the role of the brain in motor control.
