Abstract
Ninety years after his death in 1934, the artistic beauty of the innovative brain images created by physician and histologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal, as well as his revolutionary neuroanatomical theory, remains relevant today. As a scientist who isolated brain nerve cells, he visualized them as physically distinct entities, answering one of the most crucial questions of his time. Prior to his work, the prevailing belief was in the reticular theory, which suggested that nervous tissue was continuous and formed a network of interconnected cells. His anatomical studies helped establish the foundations of modern neuroscience. Cajal, who worked in solitude for many years, embodied one of the most important virtues of a scientist in his life: perseverance.
医生和组织学家圣地亚哥Ramón y Cajal于1934年去世，90年后的今天，他创造的创新大脑图像的艺术之美，以及他革命性的神经解剖学理论，仍然与今天息息相关。作为一名分离脑神经细胞的科学家，他把它们想象成物理上不同的实体，回答了他那个时代最关键的问题之一。在他工作之前，流行的观点是网状理论，该理论认为神经组织是连续的，形成了一个相互连接的细胞网络。他的解剖学研究帮助建立了现代神经科学的基础。卡哈尔在孤独中工作了多年，他一生中体现了科学家最重要的美德之一：毅力。
期刊介绍：
An international multidisciplinary journal devoted to fundamental research in the brain sciences.
Brain Research publishes papers reporting interdisciplinary investigations of nervous system structure and function that are of general interest to the international community of neuroscientists. As is evident from the journals name, its scope is broad, ranging from cellular and molecular studies through systems neuroscience, cognition and disease. Invited reviews are also published; suggestions for and inquiries about potential reviews are welcomed.
With the appearance of the final issue of the 2011 subscription, Vol. 67/1-2 (24 June 2011), Brain Research Reviews has ceased publication as a distinct journal separate from Brain Research. Review articles accepted for Brain Research are now published in that journal.
