to 2010 and was an active and vital member of the Cajal Club. Ted is well known for his scholarly scientific papers
and his books on the thalamus and a series of books on the cerebral cortex with Alan Peters. He was elected to the
National Academy of Sciences in 2006. We will all miss Ted very much. Shown below is a photo taken on

The
Cajal Club is an organization of neuroscientists. The Club now meets every year at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
The goals of the Cajal Club are to 1) revere Cajal, 2) provide an opportunity for neuroscientists with special interests in
the structure and function of the nervous system to confraternize, and 3) contribute to the welfare of neuroanatomy and neuroanatomists.

Past International Meetings
2011 - The Cajal Club sponsored the always popular Cortical
Development meeting in Crete. 2009
-The Cajal Club held a very successful International Meeting, entitled "Camillo Golgi and Modern Neuroscience".
The meeting took place at the Department of Experimental Medicine, Section of General Pathology “Camillo Golgi”,
Palazzo Botta, University of Pavia, Italy, from September 29 – October 1, 2009. The symposium featured several talks
on Golgi's great discoveries. In addition the Krieg Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Nobel Prize Laureate Rita
