Interestingly, #Virchow also introduced the concept of #neuroglia as a distinct #cellular component of the #NervousSystem. This was a crucial step in understanding the cellular composition of the nervous system and laid the groundwork for later #neuroscience research on glial cells.

To my surprise, I recently learned that Hermann von #Helmholtz’s 1842 dissertation was not about #physics, but about the #NervousSystem. It was an anatomical study of invertebrate nervous systems, written at a time when the conceptual distinction between #neurons and #glia did not yet exist.
I wrote a short blog post about this fascinating early contribution to #neuroscience:
