Conceived within the context of late nineteenth-century university medical education, these works are interpreted as a singular testimony to the convergence of art, science, and teaching, and as a milestone in the visualization of knowledge; their recovery makes it possible to restore both their material integrity and the original scientific reading required to understand rigorously Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/book partopen access75612.8NeuroscienceHeritage conservationMedicine historyTechnical examinationPaintingsBellas ArtesHistoria del ArteNeurociencias (Medicina)Neurociencias (Biológicas)32 Ciencias Médicas62 Ciencias de las Artes y las Letras
