Degeneration and Regeneration of the Nervous System

Abstract

HIGH in the achievements of modern Spain must be ranked the development of a school of biological science which evolved from the work of the Madrid histologist, Prof. Ramón y Cajal. His perfections of the silver impregnation of nerve fibres so that their axis cylinder (or essential conducting element) could be revealed to microscopical observation, led to a long series of researches on the structure of the nervous system from about 1890 to the present time.
