Feature Narrative

Spain/USA

Science fiction turns into reality when the father of neuroscience Santiago Ramón y Cajal wakes up one day in the early 1900s envisioning a future where the human brain has been mapped. This dream inhabited by neuronal forests and microbial cities leads Cajal to the path of discovery of the neuron. He can finally see order in the micro-entanglements of our brains.

The ‘beso protoplasmático” was the original name given to the connection between two neurons. It was dismissed by the scientific community and later coined the synapse.
