  • Fernando De Castro: Cajal's Man on the Peripheral Nervous System
    'Wiley', 2020
    Co-Authors: Ros-bernal F, Fernando De Castro
    Abstract:

    Santiago Ramón y Cajal Developed his initial scientific career working alone. After the publication of his opus magna (“Textura Del sistema nervioso Del hombre y los vertebrados”) and the general recognition of the scientific environments that crystallized with the concession of the International Moscow Prize (1900), the Spanish Government DeciDed to officially support Cajal with a laboratory and the first salaries to pay collaborators. Is then when the Spanish Neurological School births: in 1902, Francisco Tello is the first one to be incorporated. With new additions, Cajal's work is complimented in new aspects, including Neuropathologies. Fernando De Castro is one of his youngest direct disciples, one of the closest and more beloved. Fernando De Castro worked from 1916 in Cajal's lab, until the Death of El Maestro. He was specially committed by Cajal to unravel different aspects of the structure of the peripheral ganglia: sensitive and vegetative. Afterward, Fernando De Castro Described by first time the nature of arterial chemoreceptors in the carotid body. While trying to confirm his anatomical Description with physiological Demonstrations, and accumulating Delays because of scientific Decision and the sociopolitical circumstances in Spain, Corneille Heymans was awarDed with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1938 for his contributions to the knowledge of cardiorespiratory reflexes. The Karolinska Institutet forgot Heinrich Hering and Fernando De Castro in their Decision. Undoubtedly, Fernando De Castro was the most important disciple of Cajal working in the different structures of the peripheral nervous system, and this work is now reviewed here.

  • the cajal school in the peripheral nervous system the transcenDent contributions of fernando De Castro on the microscopic structure of sensory and autonomic motor ganglia
    Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2016
    Co-Authors: Fernando De Castro
    Abstract:

    The fine structure of the autonomic nervous system was largely unknown at the beginning of the second DecaDe of the 20th century. Although relatively anatomists and histologists had studied the subject, even the assays by the great Russian histologist AlexanDer Dogiel and the Spanish Nobel Prize laureate, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, were incomplete. In a time which witnessed fundamental discoveries by Langley, Loewi and Dale on the physiology of the autonomic nervous system, both reputed researchers entrusted one of their outstanding disciples to the challenge to further investigate autonomic structures: the Russian B.I. Lawrentjew and the Spanish Fernando De Castro Developed new technical approaches with spectacular results. In the mid of the 1920´s, both young neuroscientists were worldwiDe recognized as the top experts in the field. In the present work we Describe the main discoveries by Fernando De Castro in those years regarding the structure of sympathetic and sensory ganglia, the organization of the synaptic contacts in these ganglia, and the nature of their innervation, later materialized in their respective chapters, personally invited by the editor, in WilDer Penfield's famous textbook on Neurology and the Nervous System. Most of these discoveries remain fully alive today.

  • Towards the Sensory Nature of the Carotid Body: Hering, De Castro and Heymans
    Frontiers in neuroanatomy, 2009
    Co-Authors: Fernando De Castro
    Abstract:

    The carotid body or glomus caroticum is a chemosensory organ bilaterally located between the external and internal carotid arteries. Although known by anatomists since the report incluDed by Von Haller and Taube in the mid XVIIIth century, its Detailed study started the first quarter of the XXth. The Austro-German physiologist Heinrich E. Hering studied the cardio-respiratory reflexes searched for the anatomical basis of this reflex in the carotid sinus, while the Ghent School leaDed by the physio-pharmacologists Jean-Francois Heymans and his son Corneille focussed in the cardio-aortic reflexogenic region. In 1925, Fernando De Castro, one of the youngest and more brilliant disciples of Santiago Ramon y Cajal at the Laboratorio De Investigaciones Biologicas (Madrid, Spain), profited from some original novelties in histological procedures to study the fine structure and innervation of the carotid body. De Castro unravelled them in a series of scientific papers published between 1926 and 1929, which became the basis to consiDer the carotid body as a sensory receptor (or chemoreceptor) to Detect the chemical changes in the composition of the blood. InDeed, this was the first Description of arterial chemoreceptors. Impressed by the novelty and implications of the work of De Castro, Corneille Heymans invited the Spanish neurologist to visit Ghent on two occasions (1929 and 1932), where both performed experiences together. Shortly after, Heymans visited De Castro at the Instituto Cajal (Madrid). From 1932-33, Corneille Heymans focused all his attention on the carotid body his physiological Demonstration of De Castro’s hypothesis regarding chemoreceptors was awarDed with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1938, just when Spain was immersed in its catastrophic Civil War.

  • WHY JOÃO CEZAR De Castro ROCHA’S WRITING MATTERS – NOT ONLY TO ME
    2019
    Co-Authors: Hans Ulrich Gumbrech
    Abstract:

    In his most recent book “ Leituras Desauratizadas: Tempos Precarios, Ensaios Provisorios, ” Joao Cezar De Castro Rocha talks about some of the authors and topics that have emerged as most central in his work over the past two DecaDes: about Machado De Assis and about Shakespeare, about cultural journalism and chess, about museums and about the present state of Literary Criticism. But in spite of the innovative perspectives that he wrests from his subject matters, the book is above all a quest for new forms, more precisely a quest and an experiment about new forms of writing through which Literary Criticism and the Humanities at large could, in the future, engage with a new extra-acaDemic reaDership and thus also make a (perhaps Decisive) contribution toward their own institutional and intellectual survival.
