Much of the basic structure of the cerebellum comes the historic histological studies and staining of Ramón Cahal (1852 - 1934) and Camillo Golgi (1843 - 1926).
Cerebellum History | |
---|---|
Santiago Ramon y Cahal (1852 - 1934) a Spanish researcher used then new histology Golgi staining techniques to identify the cerebellum cellular structure.
His work was a turning point in our understanding of the structure of the brain, that until then had been described as a "syncytium" and not consisting of discrete cellular elements. For this research and other work on defining the structure of the brain he, along with Camillo Golgi (1843 - 1926), received the 1906 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Camillo Golgi (1843 - 1926) developed the histology silver staining technique, though is best known today for the cellular organelle that bears his name, the Golgi apparatus.See also the early descriptive study by Palmgren (1921 )[1] |
