Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a Spanish scientist known as the father of modern neuroscience. His discoveries have changed the way we look at our body and he will be remembered for his contributions toward neuroscience for centuries.
Santiago Ramon y Cajal was born on May 1, 1852 and lived until the age of 82 when he died on October 18, 1934.
The first school he attended was a medical school because his dad was a teacher there, where he learned about medical help and techniques and once he graduated, he became a medical officer for the Spanish army. But it wasn't until he came back where he started to take interest in neuroscience.
He first started out as a professor at the University of Zaragoza where he taught anatomy and learned about inflammation and cells. Then he moved to the Universities of both Barcelona and Madrid, where he studied things like Golgi's silver nitrate and the nervous system and made big contributions to neuroscience like studying and making bid discoveries on the brain and cells.
Santiago's biggest contributions to neuroscience include studying the structure of the brain and the different sections of the brain and studying brain cells and their structures, great discoveries that even got him the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1906. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't know nearly as many things about the brain then we do, which is why he is known as the father of modern neuroscience. Hopefully his work is remembered for centuries and we never forget about all his contributions for neuroscience and our knowledge of our brain.
