Dec 12, 2020 · Lombroso introduced Golgi to the study of human nervous system and Bizzozero guided him towards the histological studies of human brain. Orientation Towards Research in Neurology Being spurred by the academic flair of his mentor Bizzozero, Golgi dedicated himself to scientific exploits in the field of histopathology.

Camillo Golgiwas born in July 1843 in Corteno, a village in the mountains near Brescia in northern Italy, where his father was working as a district medical officer. He studied medicine at the University of Pavia, where he attended as an ‘intern student’ the Institute of Psychiatry directed by Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909). Golgi also worked in the l...
Golgi’s discovery of the black reaction and his subsequent investigations provided a substantial contribution to the advancement of the knowledge on the structural organization of the nervous tissue. The theory that tissues are composed of individual cellular elements (the cell theory) had been enunciated in 1838-1839 by Matthias Jacob Schleiden (1...

Feb 18, 2019 · The contributions of Camillo Golgi (1843–1926) to the study of the nervous system are a pillar of modern neuroscience. The Golgi impregnation first offered to microscopic studies individual neurons and glial cells in their entirety, and has therefore laid the foundation of neurohistology and neuroanatomy, opening a new era in neuroscience.

May 1, 1998 · A century ago, Camillo Golgi discovered in neurons an intracellular network of anastomosing threads, impregnated by the chromoargentic reaction he had devised to stain the nervous tissue. This structure, designated by Golgi as `internal reticular apparatus', was soon detected in a wide variety of eukaryotic cells.

Golgi used his new stain to make a number of important observations about the nervous system. He provided more detailed descriptions of neurons, including the first good descriptions of axon collaterals, or branches that extend off of the main processes of axons.
Feb 17, 2019 · When Golgi introduced the “black reaction,” the leading theory on the organization of the nervous system was the reticular theory, championed by the German anatomist Joseph von Gerlach (1820–1896).
Feb 23, 2017 · Camillo Golgi studied the central nervous system during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Italy, and he developed a staining technique to visualize brain cells.
