--- abstract: "In the beginning of the 20th century the groundbreaking work\r\nof Ramon y Cajal firmly established the neuron doctrine, according to which neurons are the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system. Von Weldeyer coined the term “neuron” in 1891, but the huge leap forward in\r\nneuroscience was due to Cajal’s meticulous microscopic observations of brain sections stained with an improved version of Golgi’s la reazione nera (black reaction). The latter improvement of Golgi’s technique made it possible to visualize the arborizations of single neurons that were “colored brownish black even to their finest branchlets, standing out with unsurpassable clarity upon a transparent yellow background. All was sharp as a sketch with Chinese ink”. The high quality of both the visualization of individual nerve cells and the work performed on studying the anatomy of the central nervous system lead Ramon y Cajal to the conclusion that axons output the nervous impulses to the dendrites or the soma of other target neurons." altloc: - http://www.bgscb.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/BMR-21_Georgiev.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Georgiev given: Danko D. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Glazebrook given: James F. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2010-12 date_type: published datestamp: 2012-11-09 19:51:52 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/86/76 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Chaldakov given: George N. honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8676 fileinfo: /8676/1.hassmallThumbnailVersion/Georgiev_Glazebrook_BMR_2010_21_17-23.pdf;/8676/1/Georgiev_Glazebrook_BMR_2010_21_17-23.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'SNARE protein, exocytosis, neurotransmission, mind, brain' lastmod: 2013-02-18 15:15:23 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 17-23 pubdom: TRUE publication: BioMedical Reviews publisher: Bulgarian Society for Cell Biology refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 11 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2012-11-09 19:51:52 subjects: - bio-phys - neuro-chem - neuro-physio - phil-mind succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: SNARE proteins as molecular masters of interneuronal communication type: journalp userid: 3568 volume: 21
