The Nobel Prize of 1906.

How the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was shared between Golgi and Cajal.

In 1906 the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was shared between Camillo Golgi and Ramón y Cajal in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system. Golgi's most impressive contribution was his method, described in 1873. This was applied in studies of the cerebellum, the olfactory bulb, hippocampus and the spinal cord. These studies together with his earlier work were inclu...

Golgi and Cajal: The neuron doctrine and the 100th anniversary of the 1906 Nobel Prize

Novelties: New species discovered in the expedition to the Foja mountains of New Guinea include an as yet unnamed Callulops frog (top), an unnamed Albericus frog (middle), and a new bird, the smoky honeyeater (bottom). Researchers believe the mountains hold many more as yet unidentified species. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901 with a legacy from Alfred Nobel, the discoverer of dynam...

A century of neuroscience discovery: reflecting on the Nobel Prize awarded to Golgi and Cajal in 1906.

Cajal, Golgi, Nansen, Schäfer and the neuron doctrine.

The Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine of 1906 was shared by the Italian Camillo Golgi and the Spaniard Santiago Ramón y Cajal for their contributions to the knowledge of the micro-anatomy of the central nervous system. In his Nobel Lecture, Golgi defended the going-out-of-favour Reticular Theory, which stated that the nerve cells--or neurons--are fused together to form a diffuse network. R...

Strangely they met only at Stockholm. Golgi gave his Nobel lecture first in which he described his reticu...

A historical reflection of the contributions of Cajal and Golgi to the foundations of neuroscience.

In 1906, the Spaniard Santiago Ramón y Cajal and the Italian Camillo Golgi shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system. Although both were well-known scientists who had made a large number of important discoveries regarding the anatomy of the nervous system, each defended a different and conflicting position in relation t...
