Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a Spanish neuroscientist who demonstrated that neurons were not associated with each other in continuity, but rather in contiguity. The English neurophysiologist, Sir Charles Sherrington, and his colleagues named the contact between neurons a "synapse." The space between neurons revealed by Ramón y Cajal is now called a synapse.
