But this summer the “wind of change” has again come to Gorky Park.

Golgi discovered his method while working by candlelight in one of the hospital's kitchens, which he had transformed into a laboratory.

In 1888, Cajal described a section of chick cerebellum he had stained using his improved Golgi method (below).

In 1873, Golgi published a paper containing descriptions of hippocampal and cerebellar tissue (below, left and right, respectively) that he had stained using his new technique.

The staining method Golgi discovered was of vital significance; using that method, he laid the foundations of the discipline we now call histology.
