Ramon y Cajal is my favourite scientist.
I have chosen him as my favourite scientist because he is a shining example of how one can overcome hardship if one is determined and curious enough!He is often described as “the man with the itch to know: and had an insatiable desire to find out how things worked ... and he was a great artist too.
It was Cajal who suggested that the neuron was the anatomical and functional of the nervous system, and it is largely because of his work that the Neuron Doctrine eventually came to accepted. He was an outstanding neuroanatomist who is regarded as the father of modern neuroscience. Cajal examined nervous tissue from embryos, and noticed that the axon and dendrites grow out of the cell body of the neuron. In 1887, Cajal started using Golgi’s method of staining nervous tissue, and pioneered an improved method, which involved immersing tissues in fixative and silver nitrate a second time. A second immersion stained the tissues more deeply, allowing Cajal to study them in greater detail. In a make-shift laboratory set up in his kitchen, Cajal systematically examined and described nervous tissue from most regions of the brains of various species. In doing so, he was an early pioneer of comparative neuroanatomy.

Ramon y Cajal made many contributions to our understanding of the organization of the nervous system, many of which were later published in 'Textura del sistema nervioso del hombre y de los vertebrados'.
