Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Santiago Ramon y Cajal, histologist
Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852-1934), Spanish histologist. Ramon y Cajal was apprenticed to a barber and a shoemaker before taking up medicine. From 1885 he became interested in the microscopic structure of the brain. By using and improving Camillo Golgis recently-invented staining methods, Ramon y Cajal studied the brain, spinal cord and retina. He showed the great complexity of the system and argued that the cells in the nervous system were discrete, having no physical continuity between them. He also studied the degeneration and regeneration of nerves. In 1906, he shared the Nobel Prize for medicine with Golgi. Photograph taken circa 1906

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Santiago Ramon y Cajal, a renowned Spanish histologist who made significant contributions to the field of neuroscience. Born in 1852, Ramon y Cajal's journey towards becoming a pioneer in his field was unconventional. Initially apprenticed to a barber and shoemaker, he later pursued medicine and developed an intense fascination with the microscopic structure of the brain. Using Camillo Golgi's staining techniques as a foundation, Ramon y Cajal meticulously studied the intricate composition of the brain, spinal cord, and retina. His groundbreaking research revealed that nerve cells within the nervous system were distinct entities without any physical continuity between them. Additionally, he delved into understanding nerve degeneration and regeneration processes. In recognition of his exceptional work alongside Golgi, Santiago Ramon y Cajal received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1906. This monochrome photograph captures him during this remarkable period around 1906 when his achievements were at their peak. Ramon y Cajal's legacy extends far beyond his time; he remains an influential figure in neurology and histology even today. His meticulous observations laid the foundation for modern neurobiology and continue to inspire countless researchers worldwide. This image serves as a powerful reminder of his immense contribution to scientific knowledge and highlights his status as one of history's most esteemed neurobiologists.
