In 1858, Rudolf Virchow introduced the term neuroglia, referring to a fiber-like structure he observed connecting the brain and spinal cord. In 1872, Camillo Golgi described the morphology of glial cells, emphasizing the relationship between structure and function. By 1880, Golgi discovered nerve cells and published his findings, leading to the naming of the Golgi apparatus. In 1890, William James introduced the concept of brain plasticity, asserting that the brain is adaptable and can change based on behaviors and habits, countering the notion of a 'fixed' brain.
In 1858, Rudolf Virchow introduced the term neuroglia, describing it as a fiber-like substance connecting the brain and spinal cord, denoting 'nerve glue.'
In 1872, Camillo Golgi described the morphology of glial cells, linking their shape to function, and expanded his research to nerve cells and vesicles.
In 1890, William James proposed the concept of brain plasticity, suggesting the brain's adaptability and its roles in behaviors and habits.
James's analysis in 1890 indicated that the brain was not 'fixed' but rather exhibited a biological state reflecting adaptability and change.
