Camillo Golgi (1843-1926)
An Italian neurologist and histologist, Golgi's classical structural studies
of the nervous system, done in the late 19th century, are still cited today, and
in addition he pioneered the development of many new techniques still used in
this sort of study. Golgi was one of the truly great figures of 19th century science,
and in recognition of his work he was named a Nobel Laureate in Physiology and
Medicine in 1906.
