Desde hace muchos años los científicos han estado estudiado el sistema nervioso y sus constituyentes. Uno de los más notables avances en la descripción de la estructura y las unidades funcionales del sistema nervioso provino del fisiólogo español Santiago Ramón y Cajal a finales del siglo XIX con su doctrina neuronal. Ramón y Cajal rompió la creencia establecida de que el sistema nervioso estaba compuesto por un solo retículo o continuo. Usando una técnica de coloración histológica, Cajal pudo resolver en detalle la estructura y concluir que el sistema nervioso estaba compuesto de neuronas individuales en lugar de ser un continuo. Por este descubrimiento, Cajal recibió el premio Nobel de Medicina en 1906.
Since many years scientists have been studying the nervous system and its constituent elements. One of the most notable advances in the description of the structural and functional units of the nervous system came from the Spanish physician Santiago Ramón y Cajal in the late 19th century with his neuron doctrine. Ramon y Cajal broke down the widely believed concept that the nervous system was a reticulum or a continuum meshwork. Using a histological staining technique, Cajal could resolve in detail the structure and concluded that the nervous system was composed of individual neurons rather than a continuum. For this discovery, Cajal was awarded with the 1906 Nobel Price in Medicine.
