Explore how a scientist and artist discovered how our brains transmit signals throughout the body, and laid the foundation for modern neuroscience. In the 1860s, scientists believed they were on the verge of uncovering the brain s biggest secret: how the brain s signals travel through the body. They believed these impulses travelled uninterrupted along a massive web of tissue. But soon, a young artist would cut down this hypothesis, and sketch a bold new vision of how our brains work.

I did a research and a presentation about him in my freshman year of college for a course called History of Scientific Thinking. At first I cried reading about his story because I wanted to be a writer but instead I was focusing on a pretty different area (my classmates and counselor were shocked when I told them. I'm kinda over it now, but I respect him a lot and still keep the slides and the pictures of his drawings for the days when my studies become too frustrating and overwhelming to handle.

Studying science gives us a logical perspective, a methodical approach, while arts help us to think out of the box and come up with different ideas. I play sports at a professional level, I sing, I draw, and I love love love human physiology. But, I'm very very lazy. Let's see where it gets me: (

One connected tissue is formed of discrete cells. The explanation could be clarified better. But yes - an amazing piece of history I wasn't aware of. Thanks!

Dad: You will become a doctor!
Mom: No! You will become an artist! This was your grandpa's last wish!
This hybrid: What about a Nobel Prize with both?

Is there a physiological structure or imaging technique named after Cajal? Golgi has one, I hope Cajal got one too, since I don't know about one. :(
reply

So if the Golgi apparatus was named after a guy named Golgi, I take it that mitochondria was named after some guy named Steve Mitochondria.

As a Spaniard, I m glad you talked about one of our most important scientists we ve ever had, sadly a dying breed in our country these days

Can't believe what people would have thought when they first heard that electrical signals could jump from one wire( neuron ) to another.

There was a guy who was an artist and a scientist?
There was also a guy who was an artist and a fascist leader in the 1940's

Don't forget that Leonardo Da Vinci was know for painting, drawing, sculpting, science, engineering, architecture and anatomy.
