How Camillo Golgi became “the Golgi”

Camillo Golgi (1843?1926)

Camillo Golgi studied the central nervous system [2] during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Italy, and he developed a staining technique to visualize brain cells. Called the black reaction, Golgi's staining technique enabled him to see the cellular structure of brain cells, called neurons, with much greater precision. Golgi also used the black reaction to identify structure...
