Biography

edit

Santiago Ramón y Cajal was born on the 1st of May 1852 in the town ofPetilla de Aragón,Navarre,Spain.[1]As a child he was transferred many times from one school to another because of behavior that was declared poor, rebellious, and anti-authoritarian.An extreme example of his precociousness and rebelliousness at the age of eleven is his 1863 imprisonment for destroying his neighbor's yard gate with a homemade cannon.[5]He was a keen painter, artist, and gymnast, but his father neither appreciated nor encouraged these abilities, even though these artistic talents would contribute to his success later in life.[2]His father apprenticed him to a shoemaker and barber, to "try and give his son much-needed discipline and stability."[2]

Ramón y Cajal, captain in theTen Years' War,Cuba,1874

Over the summer of 1868, his father took him to graveyards to find human remains for anatomical study. Early sketches of bones moved him to pursue medical studies.[6]: 207 Ramón y Cajal attended the medical school of theUniversity of Zaragoza,where his father worked as an anatomy teacher. He graduated in 1873, aged 21, and then served as a medical officer in theSpanish Army.He took part in anexpedition to Cubain 1874–1875, where he contractedmalariaandtuberculosis.[7]To aid his recovery, Ramón y Cajal spent time in the spa-townPanticosain thePyreneesmountain range.[8]

After returning to Spain, he received his doctorate in medicine in Madrid in 1877. Two years later, he became director of the Anatomical Museum at the University of Zaragoza and married Silveria Fañanás García, with whom he would have seven daughters and five sons. Ramón y Cajal worked at the University of Zaragoza until 1883, when he was awarded the position of anatomy professor of theUniversity of Valencia.[7][9]His early work at these two universities focused on the pathology of inflammation, the microbiology ofcholera,and the structure ofepithelialcells and tissues.[10]

Self-portrait as a student, 1870s

In 1887 Ramón y Cajal moved toBarcelonafor a professorship.[7]There he first learned aboutGolgi's method,a cell staining method which uses potassium dichromate and silver nitrate to (randomly) stain a few neurons a dark black color, while leaving the surrounding cells transparent. This method, which he improved, was central to his work, allowing him to turn his attention to thecentral nervous system(brain and spinal cord), in which neurons are so densely intertwined that standard microscopic inspection would be nearly impossible. During this period he made extensive detailed drawings of neural material, covering many species and most major regions of the brain.[11]

In 1892, he became professor at Madrid.[7]In 1899 he became director of theInstituto Nacional de Higiene– translated asNational Institute of Hygiene,and in 1922 founder of theLaboratorio de Investigaciones Biológicas– translated asLaboratory of Biological Investigations,later renamed toInstituto Cajal,orCajal Institute.[7]

He died in Madrid on October 17, 1934, at the age of 82,[12]continuing to work even on his deathbed.[7][13]

Political and religious views

edit

In 1877, the 25-year-old Ramón y Cajal joined aMasonic lodge.[14]: 156 John Brande Trendwrote in 1965 that Ramón y Cajal "was a liberal in politics, an evolutionist in philosophy, an agnostic in religion".[15]

Nonetheless, Ramón y Cajal used the term soul "without any shame".[16]He was said to later have regretted having left organized religion.[14]: 343 Ultimately, he became convinced of a belief in God as a creator, as stated during his first lecture before theSpanish Royal Academy of Sciences.[17][18]

Discoveries and theories

edit
Ramón y Cajal in his laboratory

Ramón y Cajal made several major contributions to neuroanatomy.[6]He discovered the axonalgrowth cone,and demonstrated experimentally that the relationship between nerve cells was notcontinuous,or a single system as per then extantreticular theory,but rathercontiguous;[6]there were gaps between neurons. This provided definitive evidence for whatHeinrich Waldeyerwould name "neuron theory",now widely considered the foundation of modern neuroscience.[6]He is also considered by some to be the first "neuroscientist" since in 1894 he stated to theRoyal Society of London:"The ability of neurons to grow in an adult and their power to create new connections can explain learning." This statement is considered to be the origin of the synaptic theory of memory.[19]

He was an advocate of the existence ofdendritic spines,although he did not recognize them as the site of contact from presynaptic cells. He was a proponent of polarization of nerve cell function and his student,Rafael Lorente de Nó,would continue this study of input-output systems intocable theoryand some of the earliest circuit analysis of neural structures.[20]

By producing depictions of neural structures and their connectivity and providing detailed descriptions of cell types he discovered a new type of cell, which was subsequently named after him, theinterstitial cell of Cajal(ICC).[21]This cell is found interleaved among neurons embedded within thesmooth muscleslining the gut, serving as the generator and pacemaker of theslow waves of contractionwhich movematerialalong thegastrointestinal tract,mediating neurotransmission from motor neurons to smooth muscle cells.

In his 1894Croonian Lecture,Ramón y Cajal suggested (in an extended metaphor) that corticalpyramidal cellsmay become more elaborate with time, as a tree grows and extends its branches.[22]

He studied some psychological phenomena, such as hypnotic suggestion to alleviate pain, which he used to help his wife during labor. A book he had written on these topics was lost during theSpanish Civil War.[23]

During his studies on the optic chiasma, Cajal developed avisual map-based theoryoffering an evolutionary explanation for the decussation of nerve fibres and the chiasm of the optic tract.[24][25]

Distinctions

edit

Ramón y Cajal received many prizes, distinctions, and societal memberships during his scientific career, including honorary doctorates in medicine fromCambridge UniversityandWürzburg Universityand an honorarydoctorate in philosophyfromClark University.[7]The most famous distinction he was awarded was theNobel Prize in Physiology or Medicinein 1906, together with the Italian scientistCamillo Golgi"in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system".[7]This caused some controversy because Golgi, a staunch supporter ofreticular theory,disagreed with Ramón y Cajal in his view of the neuron doctrine.[26]Before Ramón y Cajal's work, Norwegian scientistFridtjof Nansenhad established the contiguous nature of nerve cells in his study of certain marine life, which Ramón y Cajal failed to cite.[27]Ramón y Cajal was an International Member of both the United StatesNational Academy of Sciencesand theAmerican Philosophical Society.[28][29]

In society and culture

edit

In 1906 JoaquinSorolla y Bastidapainted Cajal's official portrait celebrating his Nobel Prize win.[30]

Cajal posed for a statue that was created by the sculptorMariano Benlliureand was installed in 1924 in the Paraninfo building at the School of Medicine of theUniversity of Zaragoza.

In 1931 a monument was unveiled in Madrid, Spain. This full-body statue stands 3 meters (around 10 ft) high on a narrow pedestal and was created by Lorenzo Domínguez,[31]a Chilean medical student.

1982 a TV mini series was created in Spain titledRamón y Cajal: Historia de una voluntad.[32]

In 2003, the first major exhibition of Cajal's scientific drawings opened in Madrid, Spain. The exhibition featured hundreds of restored original drawings, micrographic slides, and personal photographs created by Cajal. The accompanying catalog titledSantiago Ramon y Cajal (1852–2003) Ciencia y Arte[33]features numerous high quality reproductions of Cajal's drawings and photo essays on the restoration process. Exhibition curators and contributing authors to the catalog include: Santiago Ramón y Cajal Junquera, Miguel Ángel Freire Mallo, Paloma Esteban Leal, Pablo García, Virginia G. Marin, Ma Cruz Osuna, Isabel Argerich Fernández, Paloma Calle, Marta C. Lopera, Ricardo Martínez, Pilar Sedano Espín, Eugenia Gimeno Pascual, Sonia Tortajada, and Juan Antonio Sáez Dégano.

In 2005 the asteroid117413 Ramonycajalwas named after him byJuan Lacruz.

In 2007, sculptures of Severo Ochoa and Santiago Ramón y Cajal created by Víctor Ochoa were unveiled at theSpanish National Research Councilcentral headquarters in Madrid, Spain.[34]

Santiago Ramón y Cajal Museum, Ayerbe, Huesca, Spain opened in 2013 and is located in Cajal's childhood home, where he lived with his family for ten years.[35]

In 2014, theNational Institutes of Healthinitiated an ongoing exhibition of original Ramón y Cajal drawings in the John Porter Neuroscience Research Center, located in theNIH central campusin Bethesda, MD, USA. The exhibition concept was spearheaded by NINDS Senior Researcher Jeffery Diamond and NINDS science writer Christopher Thomas and was made possible through close collaboration with theInstituto Cajal,Madrid, Spain.[36]The exhibition also includes contemporary artwork curated by Jeff Diamond, which was created by artistsRebecca Kamenand Dawn Hunter.[37]Inspired by Cajal's original drawings, Kamen's and Hunter's artworks are thematically representative of Cajal's aesthetic and are on permanent display for the public at the John Porter Neuroscience Research Center. Through the award of a 2017–2018 Fulbright España Senior Research Fellowship[38][39]to the Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain, Hunter continued to develop her creative project about Cajal by referencing original source material.[40][41]

A selection of Cajal's scientific drawings, personal photos, oil paintings, and pastel drawings were curated into the 14th Istanbul Biennial,Saltwater,that was held in Istanbul, Turkey from September 5 – November 1, 2015.[42]

The exhibitionFisiología de los Sueños. Cajal, Tanguy, Lorca, Dalí...opened on October 5, 2015, and ended on January 16, 2016, at the University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain. Cajal's work was the centerpiece topic of the exhibition and the show explored the influence of histological drawings on Surrealism.[43]

From January 31 – May 29, 2016, Cajal's work was featured in the inaugural exhibition for the re-opening of University of California'sBerkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film ArchiveArchitecture of Life.The catalog for the exhibition featured Cajal's drawing of the Purkinje Cell on the front cover.[44]

The National Institutes of Health, USA, and the Instituto Cajal, Spain, held collaborative symposiums honoring Cajal on October 28, 2015, and May 24, 2017. The first symposium held at the NIH in 2015 was titledBridging the Legacy of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, a symposium honoring the father of modern neuroscience.Keynote speaker Dr. Rafael Yuste was honored at a reception held at the Spanish Ambassador's, Ramón Gil-Casares, home. The second symposium titled,New Opportunities for NIH-CSIC Collaboration,was held at the Instituto Cajal in 2017. Dawn Hunter'sCajal Inventoryart project was exhibited at the symposium for the general public in the institute's library. TheCajal Inventoryconsists of forty-five 11” x 14” drawings in which Hunter recreated in fine detail Cajal's scientific drawings from primary source, and surreal portrait drawings of Cajal inspired by his photography.[45]

Every year since 2001, more than two hundred postdoctoral scholarships are awarded by theSpanish Ministry of Scienceto middle career scholars from different fields of knowledge. They are called "Ayudas a contratos Ramón y Cajal"to honor his memory.[46]

An exhibition calledThe Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajaltravelled through North America, beginning 2017 in the US at theWeisman Art Museumin Minneapolis, Minnesota. The exhibition traveled to theMorris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery,University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,[47]Grey Art Gallery,New York University, New York City, New York, USA,[48][49][50]MIT Museum,Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA,[51]and ended in April 2019 at theAckland Art Museumin Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.[52]The Beautiful Brainbook, published by Abrams,[53]New York, accompanied the exhibition.

During 2019, the University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain opened an exhibition about Cajal titledSantiago Ramón y Cajal. 150 years at the University of Zaragoza.The exhibition had an accompanying catalog that featured the same title.[54]The exhibition opened October 2019 and closed at the end of December 2019.

A short documentary by REDES is available onYouTube.[55]

From November 19, 2020, to December 5, 2021, theNational Museum of Natural Sciences,Madrid, Spain, hosted an exhibition featuring Cajal's scientific drawings, photographs, scientific equipment and personal objects from the Legado Cajal, Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain.[56]

In 2020, over 75 volunteers collaborated as part of The Cajal Embroidery Project across 6 countries to create 81 intricate, exquisite hand-stitched panels of Ramón y Cajal's images, which were then curated and displayed byEdinburgh Neuroscienceat the virtual FENS 2020 Forum, and showcased byThe Lancet Neurologyin their front covers in 2021.[57]

In 2017,UNESCO(the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recognised Cajal's Legacy (which had been kept in a museum from 1945 to 1989) as a World Heritage treasure. Recognising that this cultural treasure deserves a dedicated museum, showcasing not only Cajal's but also his disciples’ legacies, there has been a call for a dedicated museum to commemorate and celebrate Ramón y Cajal's discoveries and impact on neuroscience.[58]

Project Encephalon organised Cajal Week to celebrate his 169th birth anniversary from 1 May to 7 May 2021.[59]

The Brain In Search Of Itself,[60]an English language biography, was published in 2022.

Él acierta exclusivamente a comprender algo de ese lenguaje misterioso que Dios ha escrito en los fenómenos de la Naturaleza; y a él solamente le ha sido dado desentrañar la maravillosa obra de la Creación para rendir a la Divinidad uno de los cultos más gratos y aceptos a un Supremo entendimiento, el de estudiar sus portentosas obras, para en ellas y por ellas conocerle, admirarle y reverenciarle.[English Translation: P. 39-40: To those who tell you that Science quenches all poetry, drying up the sources of feeling and the longing for the mystery that pulses in the depths of the human soul, tell them that in the vain poetry of the people, based on an erroneous notion of Universe, as petty as it is puerile, you substitute a much more grandiose and sublime one, which is the poetry of truth, the incomparable beauty of the work of God and the eternal laws established by him. He is only able to understand something of that mysterious language that God has written in the phenomena of Nature; And he has only been able to unravel the wonderful work of Creation to render to the Divinity one of the most grateful and accepted cults to a supreme understanding, to study his portentous works, for them and for them to know, to admire and to revere him ]
