This is a truly excellent paper, representing an extraordinary contribution to the field of whole-brain study at the single-cell level. I highly recommend it.

Cajal and the discovery of the Golgi method: a neuroanatomist’s dream - Anatomical Science International This article explores the historical progression of studying neuronal connections, beginning with nineteenth-century advancements in light microscopy and histological techniques. Early methods were li...

This is a new article I have written about Cajal:

Kicking off our Bluesky profile celebrating our newest publication in @natureneuro.bsky.social! Using our new tool AstroLight we demonstrate that a specific group of #astrocytes —an astrocyte ensemble— in the nucleus accumbens regulates cue-motivated behavior. Check it out!✨https://rdcu.be/d8qJi

Valentine's day count down continues w/ highlighting a facet of Cajal. Against the wishes of his family, Cajal was resolved to marry Silveria Fañanás García. She was his steadfast companion & her role in his life underscores the profound human element behind his groundbreaking work. #Cajal #SciArt

Ayer por el #11F #diainternacionaldelamujeryninaenciencia nuestras compañeras Regina, Lidia, @guiomarniso.bsky.social Cristina y Marta estuvieron didácticas, ocurrentes, divertidas, inteligentes y sabias, provocando que el público se entusiasmara con lo que hacen y deseando saber mucho más.

My friend, colleague, and excellent neuroanatomist has passed away. I am deeply sorry for this.
