Camillo Golgi's view of the nervous system as an interconnected network, also known as the reticular theory, competed with Santiago Ramón y Cajal's neuron doctrine in the early 1900s. The reticular theory proposed that the nervous system was made up of a continuous network of cells, whereas the neuron doctrine proposed that the nervous system was made up of discrete cells (neurons) that communicated with each other through synapses. While Cajal's findings eventually supported the neuron doctrine, Golgi's work contributed to a better understanding of the broader structure of the nervous system.
