Abstract

This essay commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of neuroembryology. One cannot, of course, ascribe the beginning of a branch of science to a single year, but the years between 1885 and 1890 saw major publications by the German anatomist Wilhelm His (1831–1904) and the Spanish histologist S. Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934), both of whom laid the foundation to our present understanding of the structure and embryonic origin of the nervous system.
