Sculptor of His Own Brain

“Every man can, if he so desires, become the sculptor of his own brain”
― Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Although he became one of the founders of neuroscience, as a young man Ramón y Cajal wanted to be an artist. Therefore, vision had a central place in his scientific contributions. According to Ramón y Cajal, the most essential quality of a neuroscientist was the ability to see clearly.

    If I understood correctly, you said that Ramón y Cajal became one of the founders of CEREBRART?

    Well, maybe the title "Sculptor of His Own Brain" is slightly hyperbolic. But his wonderful words “Every man can, if he so desires, become the sculptor of his own brain” and his works are absolutely compatible with CEREBRART idea. So, just to follow his line of thought, and you will understand CEREBRART meaning.
