At Tetraneuron, we are honoured to have our scientific roots in the institute where, back in the early 1900s, Santiago Ramón y Cajal developed pioneering research about the fine structure of the nervous system of the brain and spinal cord, allowing him to earn the prestigious Nobel prize in 1906. With more than 100 publications in both Spanish and French and prolific research activities, Ramón y Cajal’s work provided the foundational understanding of neural structure and function, which is critical for comprehending neurological disorders and neurodegeneration. His contribution to the study of neuroscience and neurodegeneration includes the establishment of the “Neuron Doctrine”, which states that neurons are discrete cells and demonstrates that they communicate through junctions (synapses). In the images we share here, Cajal’s offers detailed and artful representations or the brain, feed the mounting evidence about this organ being as vast and mysterious as the universe.
Con sede en Madrid y Valencia, Tetraneuron nace como spin-off del Instituto Cajal, perteneciente al Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)
