About Ramon y Cajal
I'm Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the 'father of modern neuroscience,' born in Spain in 1852. I received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for my work on the nervous system. My neuron doctrine, suggesting that the nervous system is made of individual cells called neurons, revolutionized neuroscience. My detailed drawings of neurons remain iconic and influential.
