With the aid of methods for colouring cells so they could be studied under a microscope, Cajal successfully mapped different types of nerve cells in the brain. Cajal, a medical doctor, was also a highly talented artist. His drawings of what he saw under the microscope showed the nervous system with marvellous clarity.<\/p>\n
Cajal’s drawings are a fine example of a convergence between art and science. A number of his images will now be displayed at the Nobel Prize Museum as part of an exhibition entitled Synapses: Science and art in Spain from Ram\u00f3n y Cajal to the 21st century.<\/p>\n
In addition to Ram\u00f3n y Cajal’s drawings, the exhibition will feature works by poet Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca and artist Salvador Dal\u00ed. It will also display works by five contemporary visual artists who have been strongly influenced by Cajal. These works are connected in various ways to international scientific projects: The exhibition will be on display from 25 November to 4 December and is the result of a collaboration between three Spanish government ministries \u2212 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation; the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training; and the Ministry of Science and Innovation \u2212 in partnership with the Cervantes Institute and the Provincial Council of Huesca.<\/p>\n The 1906 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
