Day in the life of a Natural Science academic.

-I am absolutely in love with Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Camillo Golgi. I found it quite fascinating learning about their lives and the influence both had on Modern Neuroscience.

Santiago kind of has my heart because he is everything but the stereotypical idea of a scientist. He actually wanted to become an artist but that went against his father’s wishes and Santiago became quite…the rebel in school. But with time, he was intrigued by histology and proceeded to conducting a lot of research, one of them being neurons and Golgi’s Black Reaction. Santiago was able to illustrate neurons as shown in one of the pictures above. And he improved Golgi’s reaction that was a staining method using (silver nitrate and potassium chromate).

Professor Armati has a passionate interest in the work of the famous Spanish Nobel Prize winner, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, the “Father of “Neuroscience”. Cajal is my new favourite transdisciplinary hero. #neuroscience #art #psychology #philosophy #mentor #spain (at Instituto Cervantes in Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMXTkEHMO_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f5ygaf5fzrg

Santiago Ramon y Cajal

To start of Cajal was a scientist that studied neuro science and created diagrams and art works based on these studies. Which resulted in interesting designs that even a normal viewer would appreciate. Cajal’s work is held at the grey art gallery at the New York university, a lot of Cajal’s work is either ink and or pencil based. Many claim these drawings to be the greatest scientific illustration that explore the mind on a deeper level. Cajal is considered the father of modern neuroscience and is important in his field as was Darwin in his field of studies. Cajal’s discovery’s in the last dozen years of the 19th century concern the way neurons, the spinal chord, and the nervous system communicate with each other if a scientist viewed Cajal’s drawings they would view them as hard core facts. But to those outside the scientific circle would view his drawings as very suggestive and would let the imagination run wild. These small works link how the human body and nature are linked such as landscape, weather systems trees and marine life. 

Although Cajal’s work doesn’t completely link to mine, it speaks on the mind and its artistic structure and how it relates to nature. This still links to my work because my project plays on how people with a different state of mind view the open world and nature and people.

Video Clip  SS258460 (Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Neuroscientist)

A montage showing portraits and cellular drawings of Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852-1934). 

Cajal was a Spanish pathologist, histologist, neuroscientist, and Nobel laureate (1906), and is considered the father of modern neuroscience. He was skilled at drawing, and hundreds of his illustrations of brain cells are still used for educational purposes today.

His early work focused on the pathology of inflammation, the microbiology of cholera, and the structure of epithelial cells and tissues. He then turned his attention to the central nervous system. 

He discovered the axonal growth cone, and provided the definitive evidence for what would later be known as "neuron theory."

He discovered a new type of cell, which was named after him: the interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC). This is not neural or glial, but a cell that is something in between, vitally mediating neurotransmission from nerves to bowel smooth muscle cells.

Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a Spanish neuroscientist who freehand drew Golgi-stained neurons from his microscope and got the nickname Father of Modern Neuroscience because of the advancements we earned from his drawings. His images are still used today to teach neuro-students.

I got to see a museum exhibition dedicated to his work in 2017 when it came to the museum at my undergrad campus!

The Art Of The Brain

1. Cajal’s labyrinth of the inner ear, which contains the sensory structures for hearing and balance.

2. Cajal summarizes many of the properties of astrocytes in this drawing of the hippocampus of a man three hours after death.

3. Here we see damaged Purkinje neurons of the cerebellum. Cajal has chosen to focus on the cell bodies, which have a bloated, empty appearance. The most swollen of these cells (G) has the appearance of a penguin, swimming among the other neurons. Did Cajal actually see a penguin as he gazed into his microscope? Hard to tell, as Cajal typically drew from memory.

At the crossroads of art and science, Beautiful Brain presents Nobel Laureate Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience through his groundbreaking artistic brain imagery.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934) was the father of modern neuroscience and an exceptional artist. He devoted his life to the anatomy of the brain, the body’s most complex and mysterious organ. His superhuman feats of visualization, based on fanatically precise techniques and countless hours at the microscope, resulted in some of the most remarkable illustrations in the history of science. Beautiful Brain presents a selection of his exquisite drawings of brain cells, brain regions, and neural circuits with accessible descriptive commentary.

These drawings are explored from multiple perspectives: Larry W. Swanson describes Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience; Lyndel King and Eric Himmel explore his artistic roots and achievement; Eric A. Newman provides commentary on the drawings; and Janet M. Dubinsky describes contemporary neuroscience imaging techniques. This book is the companion to a traveling exhibition opening at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis in February 2017, marking the first time that many of these works, which are housed at the Instituto Cajal in Madrid, have been seen outside of Spain.

Beautiful Brain showcases Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience, explores his artistic roots and achievement, and looks at his work in relation to contemporary neuroscience imaging, appealing to general readers and professionals alike.
