By Janet M. Dubinsky. Notes; Index; Acknowledgments. Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852 1934), "the father of modern neuroscience and a Nobel laureate, was an exceptional artist whose legacy of almost three thousand drawings is unprecedented in modern science. He devoted his life to the study of the microanatomy of the brain, the body's most complex and mysterious organ. His superhuman feats of visualization, resulting from countless hours at the microscope, helped him to establish the basic concepts that guide our understanding of the brain today. Among his many discoveries, he perceived that the brain was made up of individual nerve cells, or neurons, which was only decisively proven by electron microscopy in the 1950s, half a century after Cajal's investigations. The drawings that Cajal made from these sessions of intense observation are not only landmarks of science unparalleled for their accuracy, but also of the art of drawing and the exploration of human nature. Eighty-two of his drawings, arranged into sections on brain cells, sensory systems, neuronal pathways and development and pathology, are reproduced in The Beautiful Brain, accompanied by Eric Newman s descriptive commentary. These range from his lconic "Portrait" of a pyramidal neuron the cerebral corte x to astonishing diagrams of information flow through the neutral circuits of the retina." Publisher.
