This image shows details of the spinal cord. Cajal’s patient investigation revealed the elaborate organization of the fibers that course between the spine and brain. The top image is a lateral view of the spinal cord; along the left, motor nerves connect to muscles, and along the right, a sensory nerve (red) snakes down to the skin.
The bottom image is a cross section showing motor cells (black) in the spinal cord.
