館藏資訊
"This book showcases the beautiful drawings produced throughout the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century that represent some characteristic examples of the early days of research in neuroscience. As illustrated by his marvellous drawings, the studies of Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852-1934) no doubt contributed more than those of any other researcher at the time to the growth of modern neuroscience. Thus, his name is honoured in the title of this book, even though the figures contained in the main body of the book are from 95 authors. Looking at the illustrations, one will not only marvel at Cajal's drawings but will also find that many of the other early researchers that studied the nervous system were also true artists, of considerable talent and aesthetic sensibility. This collection contains numerous drawings of some of the most important pioneers in neuroscience, including Deicers, Kolliker, Meynert, Ranvier, Golgi, Retzius, Nissl, Dogiel, Alzheimer, del Rlo-Hortega, and de Castro." --Book Jacket.
摘要註
The main aim of this work is to demonstrate to the general public that the study of the nervous system is not only important for the many obvious reasons related to brain function in both health and disease, but also for the unexpected natural beauty that it beholds.
