Abstract

110 years ago, in 1909 in Paris, Gheorghe Marinescu's La Cellule Nerveuse appeared. The work was practically a complete and extremely rich review of the literature of that time, in which Marinescu integrated the results of his own research. The book contained chapters on embryology, cytology and physiology of the nerve cell, but also on the pathology. La Cellule Nerveuse also recalls Marinescu’s pioneering studies in the field of neuronophagy, as well as his studies in the field of chromatolysis. Nowadays, La Cellule Nerveuse and the whole activity of Gheorghe Marinescu in the field of neuropathology have been an important pillar not only for the development of the Romanian School of Neurology and Neuropathology, but also for the development of the European neurology that we should remember today.
