## Bio

Golgi studied medicine at the University of Pavia from 1860 to 1868 under Cesare Lombroso, then turned to nervous system research after working with pathologist Giulio Bizzozero. In 1873 he developed black reaction, a staining technique that became a major breakthrough in neuroscience by revealing the structure of nerve cells. He spent most of his career at Pavia, mapping the terrain of the central nervous system with enough precision that several structures — the Golgi apparatus, the Golgi tendon organ, the Golgi tendon reflex — now carry his name. In 1906 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Santiago Ramón y Cajal for their work on the structure of the nervous system, though the two men famously disagreed about what they were looking at.
