"A fascinating insight into the structure of Cajal's thinking and ideas...A most valuable contribution to the study of the history of the nervous system. The authors have made available a major segment of Cajal's work in a competent translation along with scholarly comment on its significance.The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of modern neuroscience."--Medical History, "This book is more than an accurate and chronological account of Cajal's contributions to our understanding of the structural organization of the cerebral cortex. It is filled with many of Cajal's original concepts and interpretations on the nature of the nervous system. It describes whenand how many of his remarkable discoveries were made, and narrates anecdotally colorful points of interest....It often utilizes with simplicity and elegance Cajal's own words to describe his thoughts and concepts....The book, at the end, summarizes our present organizational conception of thecerebral cortex, reflecting how much we have taken from, and still owe, to Cajal's original contributions."--Miguel Marin-Padilla, M.D., Dartmouth Medical School, "This book is more than an accurate and chronological account of Cajal's contributions to our understanding of the structural organization of the cerebral cortex.

Synopsis
This is the first English-language publication of the complete works of the great Spanish neurohistologist, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, on the cerebral cortex. The new translations include all Cajal's very early contributions on the cortex of small mammals, relevant chapters from his definitive textbook, and all his great works on the human cerebral cortex made at the peak of his career. The book also presents Cajal's surveys of cortical structure, which date from his later years., This is the first English-language publication of the complete works of the great Spanish neurohistologist, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, on the cerebral cortex.
