520    At the crossroads of art and science, Beautiful Brain 
       presents Nobel Laureate Santiago Ramón y Cajal's 
       contributions to neuroscience through his groundbreaking 
       artistic brain imagery. Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934)
       was the father of modern neuroscience and an exceptional 
       artist. He devoted his life to the anatomy of the brain, 
       the body's most complex and mysterious organ. His 
       superhuman feats of visualization, based on fanatically 
       precise techniques and countless hours at the microscope, 
       resulted in some of the most remarkable illustrations in 
       the history of science. Beautiful Brain presents a 
       selection of his exquisite drawings of brain cells, brain 
       regions, and neural circuits with accessible descriptive 
       commentary. These drawings are explored from multiple 
       perspectives: Larry W. Swanson describes Cajal's 
       contributions to neuroscience; Lyndel King and Eric Himmel
       explore his artistic roots and achievement; Eric A. Newman
       provides commentary on the drawings; and Janet M. Dubinsky
       describes contemporary neuroscience imaging techniques. 
       This book is the companion to a traveling exhibition 
       opening at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis in 
       February 2017, marking the first time that many of these 
       works, which are housed at the Instituto Cajal in Madrid, 
       have been seen outside of Spain. Beautiful Brain showcases
       Cajal's contributions to neuroscience, explores his 
       artistic roots and achievement, and looks at his work in 
       relation to contemporary neuroscience imaging, appealing 
       to general readers and professionals alike.
