The neuron doctrine states that neurons are the fundamental structural and functional units of the nervous system, and that they communicate with each other through specialized connections rather than being continuous with one another. This insight is credited to Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who argued against the reticular theory proposed by Camillo Golgi
