Editorial Reviews
Review
"Ramon Y. Cajal must be regarded as the greatest neurohistologist and it is welcome news that this classic work has been reissued. . . . he conveys to the page, the picture he sees, with an unsurpassed vitality and clarity. Cajal's illustrations are superb. . . . essential reading . . highly relevant." --Brain
"They have produced one of the very best types of modern reprints. The text is untouched, but 160 pages have been added. It is to be hoped that this book will induce future editors of reprints to include similar enrichments. In the meantime it will be of value to the modern neuroscientist as well as to the historian of this specialty." --Medical History
