(Later, he made drawings for an atlas of anatomy which his father was preparing, but which was never published.) In 1880 he began to publish scientific works, of which the following are the most important: (Manual of normal histology and micrographic technique), 1889 (2nd ed., 1893). A summary of this manual recast with additions, appeared under the title . (Elements of histology, etc.), 1897; Manual de (Manual of general pathological anatomy), 1890 (3rd ed., 1900).

En Madrid, los exámenes de doctorado supondrían para Cajal, además del título, un descubrimiento inesperado: el de su vocación científica. El catedrático Maestre de San Juan le mostró unas preparaciones microscópicas. Impresionado por las mismas, Santiago decidió dedicarse a la investigación histológica y, de vuelta a Zaragoza, compró a plazos un microscopio. De esta manera, montó en su casa un pequeño laboratorio y se las arregló para surtirse de revistas y libros extranjeros sobre histología. Silveria Fañanás se cruzó una mañana en la vida de Cajal y se quedó con él para siempre. En Julio de 1879 contraen matrimonio tras haber por fin aprobado Santiago unas oposiciones: las de director del Museo Anatómico de Zaragoza. Cajal llegaría a afirmar que la mitad de su éxito y gloria correspondía a su esposa. Doña Silveria fue, en efecto, la compañera ideal para el sabio, en la que siempre encontraría apoyo y ánimo necesarios. En sus propias palabras, “yo no hice sino cumplir con mi deber, el de disimular a mi compañero el conocimiento de las estrecheces y preocupaciones del hogar modesto para que se consagre libre y holgadamente a sus trabajos favoritos. Mi único mérito fue el de haber tenido siempre fe ciega en él”.

SANTIAGO RAMON Y CAJAL: La voluntad de saber Imprimir SANTIAGO RAMON Y CAJAL: La voluntad de saber Su padre le forzó a ser médico. Ingresó en la sanidad militar y fue destinado a Cuba, donde contrajo el paludismo. En el extranjero hubo intentos de desprestigiar sus descubrimientos sobre células nerviosas. Sólo cuando ganó el Nobel, España descubrió que tenía un sabio. Si Cajal no hubiera tenido un padre tan soberbio, no habría tenido necesidad de ser tan bruto. Si hubiera tenido un padre menos bruto, no habría heredado un espíritu tan soberbio. Era don Justo Ramón, padre de Santiago, un carácter tan tremendo que sólo oponiéndole una obstinación aún mayor era posible un desarrollo individual. Sin su padre, Cajal habría sido cualquier otra cosa, sin duda importante, pero no el investigador, el científico que llegó a ser. Porque si el talento puede ser natural, la voluntad se forja y el espíritu se templa contra los obstáculos. Y don Justo fue como una peña: obstáculo y elevación sobre una perspectiva vital durísima, plana, árida, un yermo donde sólo crecía la necesidad. Don Justo era hijo de labradores de la provincia de Huesca y tuvo que trabajar desde muy joven. Colocado como mancebo de un cirujano de pueblo, quiso salir de pobre y llegar a cirujano. Se fue a Barcelona a pie y, una vez allí, acabó entrando a trabajar con un barbero que le enseñó los rudimentos de la cirugía. Se casó con una mujer alta, fuerte y muy agraciada, Antonia Cajal, y ya con hijos decidió conseguir el diploma que le faltaba. Aunque medianamente asentado, la experiencia de la pobreza nunca le abandonó y se propuso que sus hijos no padecieran lo que a él le había tocado pasar. Y a su hijo Santiago -nacido en Petilla de Aragón en

(Later, he made drawings for an atlas of anatomy which his father was preparing, but which was never published.) In 1873 he took his Licentiate in Medicine at Saragossa and served, after a competitive examination, as an army doctor. He took part in an expedition to Cuba in 1874-75, where he contracted malaria and tuberculosis. On his return he became an assistant in the School of Anatomy in the Faculty of Medicine at Saragossa (1875) and then, at his own request, Director of the Saragossa Museum (1879). On December 6, 1883 he obtained the degree of Doctor of Medicine at Madrid, after having been the day before unanimously nominated Professor of Descriptive and General Anatomy at Valencia. In 1887, after an examination, he was nominated Professor of Histology and Pathological Anatomy at Barcelona and in 1892 he was appointed to the same Chair at Madrid. In 1902 he was appointed Director of the «Investigaciones Biologicas» and of the «Instituto Nacional de Higiene».

You should read the presentations from each of the awards ceremonies; not for the exam, but rather to gain an appreciation for the elegant prose with which they were crafted. It gives you a sense of history, as some of the scientific terms are not used much any more, and the descriptions of their contributions to neuroscience is very lucid and eloquent. Below are the Nobel Laureates discussed in class. For this they were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1906. for their discoveries concerning the ionic mechanisms involved in excitation and inhibition in the peripheral and central portions of the nerve cell membrane". That is, for working out summation of graded potentials and ionic underpinnings of action potentials.

These methods include: Golgi impregnation and light microscopy Transmission electron microscopy Freeze-fracture electron microscopy Serial electron microscopy and three-dimensional reconstructions Filled cells Lipophilic fluorescent dyes Intracellular production of fluorescent proteins Confocal and multiphoton microscopy Golgi Impregnation and Light Microscopy Camillo Golgi 1843-1924 Golgi method 1873 Nobel prize 1906 Santiago Ramon y Cajal 1852-1934 Dendritic spines 1891 Although Santiago Ramon y Cajal made the first observations of dendritic spines (1891) in brain tissue stained with methylene blue according to Ehrlich, his favorite method was the silver impregnation method based on Golgi's original technique. In the hands of innumerable neurohistologists this method has been admirably fruitful since its introduction by Camillo Golgi (1873) and continues to be widely used. Golgi and Ramon y Cajal were jointly awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 1906, for their contributions to understanding the cellular structure of the brain using this method. The classical Golgi impregnation method is very elegant in its simplicity: Immerse a block (approx. 10x5 mm) of formol-fixed (or paraformaldehyde- glutaraldehyde-pefused) brain tissue into a 2% aqueous solution of potassium dichromate for 2 days
