Today, let's enjoy some paintings of nerve cells, all by Santiago Ram ó n y Cajal. The Spanish pathologist, histologist and neurologist, a Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine in 1906, pioneered the study of the microstructure of the brain and is often referred to as the "father of modern neuroscience".
