La Sagrada Familia of the Human Body: The Anatomical Record Continues Our Exploration of the Unique World of the Cranial Nerves in Volume 2 of Our Special Issue, Cranial Nerves: Morphology and Clinical Significance

The Anatomical Recordcelebrates the magnificence of human antiquity from theSima de los Huesos caves of Atapuerca, Spain,in a novelSpecial Issue

“…Indeed, our segue into encountering, and appreciating, the vibrancy of Spanish science and scholarship has been in great part due to his diligence and energy in opening the vault of such a cornucopia for us. His energy, for example, has resulted in a number of Special and Thematic Paper Issues of our journal that highlight Spanish science and Spanish scientists (e.g., examination of damage and disease to peripheral nerves, Trejo, 2018, Laitman & Albertine, 2018; studies, primarily by Spanish neuroscientists, on new research on the cranial nerves, Trejo, 2019a, 2019b, Laitman & Albertine, 2019a, 2019b; and a deep dive into the extraordinary history of Spanish neuroscience, De Carlos, 2020, Laitman & Albertine, 2020).…”

The Anatomical Record Feasts on Spain's Rich History of Neuroscience in Our Latest Thematic Papers Issue

“…The second and third issues are volumes covering the history, current knowledge, and cutting‐edge research being done on the cranial nerves. Guest edited by neurobiologists Alino Martinez‐Marcos of the Universitad Castilla‐La Mancha and Jose Sanudo of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, there are two volumes: “Cranial Nerves: Phylogeny and Ontogeny” (Laitman and Albertine, ; Martinez‐Marcos and Ramon Sanudo, ; Trejo, ) and “Cranial Nerves: Morphology and Clinical Relevance” (Laitman and Albertine, ; Martinez‐Marcos and Ramon Sanudo, ; Trejo, ). These extraordinary Special Issues explore in detail the remarkable, and yet often confusing, world of those essential highways that have collectively been called cranial nerves, often with new and insightful perspectives.…”
