Golgi’s Method

Learned when I was learning about the Nervous System in PSYCH101.

This is what started modern Neuroscience according to this ted talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4smjT1qwZU (1:38)

Golgi’s method is a silver staining technique that is used to visualize nervous tissue under light microscopy. The method was discovered by Camillo Golgi, an Italian physician and scientist, who published the first picture made with the technique in 1873.

Santiago Ramon y Cajal showed this image that only has 1% of the cells. Only shows about 1% here.
