Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While Cajal is known for his groundbreaking work in neuroscience, including the discovery of the basic structure of neurons and their connections (synapses), he did not demonstrate that neurons generate electrical signals. That discovery was made by others, notably Hodgkin and Huxley in the mid-20th century. Cajal's work focused more on the structural and functional organization of the nervous system.
