Golgi, Camillo
Golgi, Camillo
Italian cell biologist who was awarded a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1906 with Santiago Ramón y Cajal for their discovery of the fine structure of the nervous system.
Golgi's use of silver salts in staining cells proved so effective in showing up the components and fine processes of nerve cells that even the synapses – tiny gaps between the cells – were visible. The Golgi apparatus, a series of flattened membranous cavities found in the cytoplasm of cells, was first described by him in 1898.
