couple of centuries our knowledge of the nervous system has increased rapidly. As there were developments in the technology and techniques that are used to study the nervous system. Previous to the discovery of the neuron there were many rival theories about the arrangement of the nervous system. The two leading scientific groups leading the research labelled themselves as ‘The Reticularists’ and ‘The Neuronists’. The Reticularists theory was that ‘the nervous system consisted of a large network of tissue
