The drawing above, by Santiago Ramon y Cajal, appears in the spectacular new book 'Portraits of the Mind'. It's a fascinating tome leavening a narrative of the development of neuroscience with extraordinary images of milestones along the way.

The exquisite quality of many of the images conveys a sense of wonder in three different regards: of the brain’s incredible intricacy; of the genius of the techniques invented to make that observation possible; and of the incredible talent employed in a variety of media bearing witness.
