1901 A. H. Buck Ref. Handbk. Med. Sci. (rev. ed.) II. 336/1 Until further knowledge has been gained it is safer for the neuro-histologist to work with the various methods [etc.].
1968 E. Clarke & C. D. O'Malley Human Brain & Spinal Cord ii. 87 Two opposing groups of neurohistologists arose. On the one hand were those who believed that the nerve cells and their processes..constituted independent units in contiguity with other units but not in continuity... Their opponents..considered the cells and fibres to be in direct continuity with one another by way of a network to which the fibres contributed.
1994 Nature 2 June 369/3 Cajal stands head and shoulder above all other neurohistologists before and since.
