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

Cajal with and Camillo Golgi won the Nobel Prize Physiology or Medicine in 1906, "in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system". He was as much of an artist as he was a scientist and his hundreds of drawings are still used for teaching purposes.
