Were Santiago Ramón y Cajal's findings primarily theoretical or practical?
Theoretical
Practical
Predominantly practical with some theory
Mostly theory with some practical applications
Answer
Ramón y Cajal's findings were predominantly practical with some theory. Although he was not the first to study the structure of the brain, he was the first to use staining techniques to show that neurons were separate cells and that they communicated with each other through synapses. This discovery helped to explain how the brain works and led to the development of new treatments for brain disorders.
