Camillo Golgi's discovery in the 1870s that nerve cells could be colored using silver nitrate opened up new opportunities for their study. Ramón y Cajal began using this method in 1887 and achieved many groundbreaking results in the years that followed.
Jan 13, 2014 · Santiago Ramón y Cajal (May 1, 1852 – October 17, 1934) was a Spanish physician and scientist considered to be the founder of modern neurobiology ( Sotelo, 2003 ). He was the first to report with precision the fine anatomy of the nervous system.
May 24, 2022 · Camillo Golgi, who clung to the continuous-web theory, abused his Nobel acceptance speech to attack his younger co-laureate, Santiago Ramón y Cajal.
Feb 3, 2022 · The Spanish neuroscientist, pathologist, and artist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) was fascinated by the brain. His intricate, beautiful, and accurate illustrations of the inner workings of the brain are still used in neuroscience to demonstrate the neural architecture that underlies memory and human thought.
In 1896 the Spanish Royal Academy of Medicine awarded Santiago Ramón y Cajal the Dr. Pedro María Rubio prize, and in 1901 the Martínez Molina prize—the latter together with his brother, Pedro...
Our comprehension of the brain to a large extent stems from the meticulous work of the Spanish biologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who is considered as the Father of Modern Neuro- sciences. Cajal made prolific contributions for over half a century on the anatomical organization of the brain.
