Sommario/riassunto

Cajal and De Castro's Neurohistological Methods provides the first English translation of Fernando de Castro's 1933 publication Elementos de Tecnica Micrografica del Sistema Nervioso. A student of the famed founder of modern neuroscience, with Santiago Ramon y Cajal also serving as the editor of the original text, Fernando de Castro recorded all the various protocols that had been used in his laboratory by his students in order to provide a manual of histological procedures specifically designed for the fine structure of the nervous system.
