  • What began as a possible fiasco ended, in those brief hours of demonstration time, in every little thing Cajal had hoped for: the chance to current the evidence to the main authorities-he mentions His, Schwalbe, Retzius, Waldeyer, van Gehuchten, 'and particularly K�lliker' (Cajal, 1989)-and acquire their acceptance of his outcomes.
