For Further Reading

If you enjoy the artistic side of Cajal's work, I recommend reading The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal by Larry W. Swanson, Eric Newman, Alfonso Araque, and Janet M. Dubinsky. 

​

If you enjoy the scientific side of Cajal's work, I recommend reading Cajal's Nobel Lecture "The Structure and Connexions of Neurons" which is located on the Nobel Prize website.
