Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852, Petilla de Aragón, Navarra - 1934, Madrid) is considered the father of modern neuroscience for his outstanding studies of the microanatomy, his observations regarding degeneration and regeneration, and his theories about the function, development and plasticity of virtually the whole central nervous system. Cajal was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1906 and, spite of the passed time, his work continues to captivate and stimulate modern neuroscientists. Some of his original possessions are housed at the Cajal Institute (CSIC), Madrid, Spain. The Cajal Institute preserves the items that Cajal bequeathed to its Institute, which together are referred to as “Cajal Legacy”.
