Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Galvani and du Bois-Reymond performed experiments that demonstrated electrical activity in nerves and muscles, showing that communication in the nervous system is accomplished electrically. Descartes also had some ideas about nervous system communication, but did not perform experiments to demonstrate it. Golgi and Cajal, on the other hand, discovered the structure of nerve cells using staining techniques. Van Leeuwenhoek studied microorganisms and did not contribute to our understanding of nervous system communication.
