Santiago Ramün y Cajal is widely regarded as the father of neuroscience due to his groundbreaking discoveries regarding the structure and function of the nervous system, particularly in regards to the discovery of synapses. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 along with Camillo Golgi for their work on the structure of the nervous system. Michael Foster and James Lange were influential figures in physiology, but did not specifically contribute to the study of neuroscience. Sir Charles Scott Sherrington did work on the nervous system, but his research focused more on the reflex action of muscles rather than the synaptic transmission between neurons.
