ABSTRACT

Currently, the scientific production in Neuroscience in Brazil is very rich, but, historically, it has been scarce at first. The aim of this study is to present the work “Estrutura da Celula Nervoza”, by Bruno Lobo and Gaspar Vianna (1908), as a pioneering work for Brazilian science.

O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar a obra “Estrutura da Celula Nervoza”, de Bruno Lobo e Gaspar Vianna (1908), como uma obra pioneira para a ciência brasileira.
