As you study the anatomy and physiology of the Nervous System, you will learn the mechanism by which neurons carry out their functions. Think back to the principle of complementarity of structure and function and you will realize that without knowing the anatomy of the neurons and the nervous system in general, it would have been difficult to visualize the mechanism of nerve impulse transmission. Did you ever wonder for a moment as to who went through all the troubles of finding out many of this information that populate the pages of our textbooks today?

For your fourth discussion essay, you will trek down memory lane, back to the 1800s, then fast forward to1906. Read the discoveries of Ramon Santiago y Cajal and Camilo Golgi in the links provided below.

Life and Discoveries of Santiago Ramón y Cajalhttp://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1906/cajal-article.html

Life and Discoveries of Camillo Golgihttp://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1906/golgi-article.html

Picture these researchers toiling in their pre-computer equipped laboratories working with the simple and primitive equipments.

Why We’re Making a Map of the Brainhttp://www.cnn.com/2012/02/19/opinion/jones-map-brain/index.html?hpt=hp_t3#

Here’s what you need to do to earn the credit

  • In not less than 400 words discuss the significance and the relevance of their findings to our lives. Speculate on how our lives would be today if these two researchers, Cajal and Golgi, did not share their finding with the rest of humanity. How do these early findings relate to the current efforts of brain researchers such as Allan Jones?
