Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the Spanish founder of modern neuroscience, was the first researcher to identify the pivotal role that dendritic spines play in learning and memory.

More than a century after Cajal’s discovery, neuroscientists know that spines play an important role in memory acquisition and consolidation, and are the topic of cutting-edge research combining structural, physiological, and modelling studies.

Discover more about the history and future perspectives of dendritic spines research by watching this FENS CHET and History Committee joint webinar by outstanding speakers Prof. Javier DeFelipe (ES) and Prof. Valentin Nägerl (FR).
