It is now over 200 years since Theodore Schwann first described
the cell which bears his name. Such early descriptions of nervous
system components were done without the powerful microscopes
we have today, yet Schwann and Ramon Y. Cajal made foundation
observations which still stand. Cajal’s papers, especially, show the...
