 | | Bartolomeo Camillo Golgi was born, the third of four sons, in Corteno (today Corteno Golgi), a small mountain village in the province of Brescia, Italy on 7 July 1843 (Figure 1). |
 | | Thereafter Golgi returned to the study of the nervous system and using a variant of his fl reaction he was able to observe, in 1897, a 'reticulum' in the cytoplasm of cells of spinal ganglia, the so-call 'internal reticular apparatus', subsequently christened the 'Golgi apparatus' or 'Golgi complex'. |
 | | In Golgi’s laboratory Carlo Martinotti identified the cell named after him in the cerebral cortex, Aldo Perroncito described the phases of regeneration in the nerves, Emilio Veratti observed the sarcoplasmic reticulum and Adelchi Negri discovered the intraneuronal inclusions (the Negri bodies) in animals and humans infected with the rabies virus (Figure_6). |
