Hooke added to the microscopical observations and coined the name cell. He is important because without his discoveries many other scientists might have not caught the pores or cells within organisms. I added this event because Hooke added a book on microscopic organisms that was the backbone on other scientist research.
-
Robert Hooke wrote a book called Micrographia that observed cork pieces, He saw microscopic structures within the cork which he called cells. -
Leeuwenhoek would look at things under his microscope and they were motile. So he thought they equated to life so he sent it to the Royal Society that day. The Society concluded that they were living organisms. But the difference between Hooke and Leeuwenhoek was Leeuwenhoek called them animalcules. -
Brown was a Scottish botanist that recognized the nucleus as the essential part of living cells. He introduced the term nucleus and applied this knowledge to looking at the organization of plants cellular constituent's. I selected him because he brought up the study of the nucleus and how it is the epicenter of the cell.

Robert brown recognizes that the nucleus is an important part of cells that are living. He shows that the nucleus is the constituent of the living cells. He coined the term nucleus that allowed other scientist to go off of his work and also study the nucleus. -
Before this time the cell theory had been discussed but it was not made official until this time.

Cajal used Golgi's analysis of the black reaction and become his biggest supporter. His investigations and reactions added to the baseline of modern neuroscience. I chose Cajal because he was one of the modern supporters of Golgi that contributed to modern neuroscience.
-
Joseph Gerlach made a statement that the central nervous system and it's nerve cells make anastomoses which makes a network that is formed by their dendrites. -
Golgi made the black reaction which showed the structure of the interstitial stroma that is in the cerebral cortex. By putting silver nitrate with hardened pieces of brain from potassium dichromate. By doing this he saw how single nerve cells and how their processes work. This research started the research of how the single functions of nerve cells. -
Wilhelm His put the idea out that the nerve-cell body and the prolongations form a single unit. He also discussed the the atoms x out the motor planes. He brought to the light that he thinks cells might be the true central nervous system.
