Fernando de Castro: Cajal's Man on the Peripheral Nervous System
No full textSantiago 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.

Entre a sombra e o mergulho, uma casa que ri. Casa Baltazar de Castro, Braga, 1963-1965
No full textA Casa Baltazar de Castro foi projectada e construída entre 1963 e 1965 e é omissa, quase sem excepção, em toda a historiografia da arquitectura portuguesa. A operacionalidade da utilização de temas, definidos por outros autores a propósito do estudo de obras arquitectos contemporâneos, como fizemos em relação às leituras propostas por: Fernandez da obra de José Carlos Loureiro, por Moneo das obras de Stirling e Siza
e por Stirling da obra de Le Corbusier, na análise da obra de Celestino de Castro, demonstra, em nossa opinião, o carácter informado e cosmopolita das reflexões que enformam a obra deste arquitecto e em particular a Casa Baltazar de Castro.
Esta é uma casa na “fronteira”, quer na biografia do autor, quer na história da arquitectura portuguesa em que participa, em nossa opinião, de pleno direito. Na fronteira entre o modernismo e o pós-modernismo, entendido este como a crise das grandes narrativas, a casa Baltazar Castro exprime a inquietação da aproximação de tempos diversos, mas não dá, ainda, o passo para a construção de um novo paradigma.
São disso relevadores, nomeadamente, a evolução da expressão plástica e espacial para uma cada vez maior personalização e riqueza volumétrica, o acentuar da importância dos sistemas construtivos e materiais, e a redescoberta de uma relação estreita com o solo e a envolvente próxima.Baltazar Castro House, designed by the architect Celestino de Castro, was built between the years 1963 and 1965.
Although the author is a well-known architect, his house is without explanation ignored, given that no reference of it in the historiography of the modern Portuguese architecture exists. In this brief text, I try to explain that this invisibility is incoherent with the intrinsic quality of the building. This is done by first analysing a set of key concerns and ideas, defined by certain authors, in the study of other architects (contemporaries of CC), such as: Fernandez on Loureiro, Moneo on Siza and Stirling and Stirling on Le Corbusier, and then using the same concerns and ideas for analysing Celestino de Castro house. This method of analysis led me to recognise the informed and cosmopolitan character of Celestino de Castro’ work and of his building in particular, since it was possible to identify on both the same key concerns and ideas. I highlight as the most significant characteristics
of this house its unique and strong formal spatial expression, its volumetric complexity and the way it rediscovers a more intense relation with the ground level and the urban environment.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
In conversation with Fernando de Castro Soubriet
No full textAs Nature Neuroscience celebrates its 25th anniversary, we are having conversations with both established leaders in the field and those earlier in their careers to discuss how the field has evolved and where it is heading. This month we are talking to Fernando de Castro Soubriet, principal investigator at the Instituto Cajal (Spain). He is a neurodevelopmental biologist who is actively involved in championing the history of neuroscience. He is among the group of Spanish scientists who ensured that the Archives of Santiago Ramón y Cajal and the Spanish Neurohistological School are registered as World Heritage with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Here, we discuss science and the legacy of the Spanish Neurohistological School

Fernando García de Castro, l’observador del turó de l’Home
No full textL’any 2022 va tenir lloc el centenari del naixement de Fernando García de Castro, qui va ser durant 37 anys al capdavant de l’observatori meteorològic del turó de l’Home. La idea primigènia de construir un observatori al cim més alt del Montseny fou de l’acadèmic Joan Montserrat, que al 1880 va presentar el projecte a l'Associació Catalanista d'Excursions Científiques. Malgrat l’empenta de l’ACEC el projecte es va avortar per falta de fons, i no serà fins 1932 que el doctor Fontserè el tirà endavant a través del Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya. Els primers observadors treballant al turó de l’Home van ser el veterà excursionista Josep Gil i la seva esposa Maria Oliveres. En acabar la guerra Civil, el Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya va ser clausurat i tots els seus béns confiscats. En Fernando García de Castro va arribar com observador al cim del Montseny el 1951, amb 29 anys, i s’hi va estar fins a la seva jubilació, al 1987.Objectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::4 - Educació de QualitatPreprin

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
No full textThe 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 Ramón 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.The work of our group is supported with grants from the following Spanish institutions: ministerio de Economía y Competitividad-MINECO (SAF2012-40023, RD12-0032-12 [partially cofinanced by FEDER “Una manera de hacer Europa”]), Fundación Eugenio Rodríguez Pascual, all to FdC.Peer reviewedPeer Reviewe
