书籍简介：

Often called the “father of modern neuroscience,”Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a Spanish scientist whose exquisitely detailed drawings helped to reveal the pathways,cells and structure of the brain. Born in 1852, Cajal crafted illustrations, based on painstaking observations of brain slices under the microscope, that led to major discoveries long before neuroimaging was possible. He realized, for instance, that the brain was a vast network of individual neurons—a inding that led him to earn a Nobel Prize in 1906. In this largeformat book, 82 of Cajal’s drawings are paired with commentary and essaysfrom neuroscientists celebrating both the scientiic value and the pure artistry of his work.

书友短评：

@ 私享史 天才就是天才，能做出常人所不能的超前于时代的伟大发现，看着这些一百多年前徒手画出的既艺术又科学的神经细胞插图，惊叹、叹息、服气。基于科学家的严谨性格，卡哈尔如果真的选择走艺术家的道路恐怕只会沦为被时代淘汰的学院派（或者成为一名名垂艺史的摄影师），他也明确表示不喜欢当时的前卫艺术，但是他的某些插图又确实流露出受到过蒙克和梵高的表现主义的影响，谓之和谐的矛盾吧。 @ 怕登楼 如果后世的著作中不断出现“现代科学证实了xx的猜想”这样的文字，那么xx就可以封神了。Cajal就是这样的xx。 @ 金乌一点 Best collection of Cajal's drawings on the market. @ 屹㫨 吃土并快乐着 @ hehe… ? @ 怕登楼 如果后世的著作中不断出现“现代科学证实了xx的猜想”这样的文字，那么xx就可以封神了。Cajal就是这样的xx。 @ 私享史 天才就是天才，能做出常人所不能的超前于时代的伟大发现，看着这些一百多年前徒手画出的既艺术又科学的神经细胞插图，惊叹、叹息、服气。基于科学家的严谨性格，卡哈尔如果真的选择走艺术家的道路恐怕只会沦为被时代淘汰的学院派（或者成为一名名垂艺史的摄影师），他也明确表示不喜欢当时的前卫艺术，但是他的某些插图又确实流露出受到过蒙克和梵高的表现主义的影响，谓之和谐的矛盾吧。 @ hehe… ? @ 金乌一点 Best collection of Cajal's drawings on the market. @ 屹㫨 吃土并快乐着
