Abstract

It is rare that the birth date of a branch of science can be determined rather precisely. The beginnings of modern developmental neurobiology can be traced to the eighties of the last century and to two eminent men: the German embryologist and anatomist Wilhelm His (1831–1904) and the Spanish neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934). Of course, the development of the nervous system had been studied before, but the foundations of our present view were laid by these men during the years 1886–1890.KeywordsNerve FiberNerve Growth FactorSchwann CellGrowth ConeDistal StumpThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
