To divulge the impact of the discoveries of the Spanish neuroanatomist and how his drawing of the brain cemented the beginning of modern neuroscience

Santiago Ramon and Cajal is considered one of the most outstanding scientists of Hispanic America and also the founding father of neuroscience. He possessed expertise in multiple areas of medicine, being an excellent histologist and neuroanatomist, which were intertwined with his talent for the arts. Ramon and Cajal described and developed what is known as the Neuron Doctrine, solidifying the nervous system's structure. 

Literature review

Ramon and Cajal was born in Petilla de Aragon, in Spanish, in 1852, and since his earliest years, he has embarked on the medical field since his father was a rural physician for multiple towns. He also developed his artistic skills and eye for detail as a young child; however, before enrolling in medical school, he worked as a barber and shoemaker. He studied medicine at the University of Zaragoza, where his father took advantage of his mastery of drawing while teaching him about the art of anatomy. Finally, he graduated in 1873. Cajal served for a couple of years in the Army and, in 1879 officially started his academic career. Throughout his career, he was appointed director of the National Institute of Hygiene and Serotherapy, professor, and later Chair of Histology and Pathological Anatomy in Zaragoza and Valencia. He had a very productive career until he died in Madrid in 1934. He had also the honor of being the first person of Spanish origin to win a scientific Nobel Prize

Literature review of the life of Doctor Santiago Ramon and Cajal and his tremendous impact on the field of neurology in the early years of modern neuroanatomy inspires other young neurologists to continue their career with endless curiosity and dedication.
