The neuron doctrine laid the foundation for modern neuroscience

This formed the basis of the “neuron doctrine,”which proposed the brain’s tissue was made up of many discrete cells,instead of one connected tissue.The neuron doctrine laid the foundation for modern neuroscience,and allowed later researchers to discover that electrical impulses are constantly converted between chemical and electrical signals as they travel from neuron to neuron.Both Golgi and Cajal received the Nobel Prize for their separate, but shared discoveries,and researchers still apply their theories and methods today.In this way, their legacies remain connected as discrete elementsin a vast network of knowledge.
