Santiago Ramón y Cajal
A Spanish neuroscientist and pathologist, Santiago Ramón y Cajal is often referred to as the father of modern neuroscience. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 for his pioneering work on the structure of the nervous system, particularly his discovery that neurons are individual cells rather than part of a continuous network. Cajal's meticulous drawings and observations laid the foundation for our understanding of brain architecture and function, earning him a place among the greatest scientists in history.
