With the development of the electron microscope the science of neuroanatomy entered a new phase which permitted study of the brain in a detail not previously possible. Yet to be truly valuable the investigations require to be executed with painstaking care and attention, and the interpretation of the results must be in the context of a full knowledge of the function of the strucutre examined. Marc Colonnier is one among a small group of scientists in the world who has deservedly earned an international reputation both for his skill in the techniques of optical and light microscopy, and for the thoughtful and imaginative interpretation which he puts upon his data.
