Another scientist for #VirtualArtOfNeuro - #neuroscientist Hendrik Van der Loos (1929-1993) shown in my print with his discovery (along with med student Thomas Woolsey), of the barrel cortex, plus the mouse head & whiskers linked directly to it.
Some species of rodents have a region of the somatosensory cortex that was named the #barrelcortex after its shape, which contains the barrel field.

I thought I would share my portrait of neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 - 1934) for #VirtualArtOfNeuro. It shows him as a young man in front of Purkinje and granule cells from a pigeon, based on one of his own drawings. 🧵1/2
