What about the problem of the souls? When they are dead, what happens to their souls? During the time in which these animals are dead where do they go? Could we believe that every time they are dead the souls leave their bodies and subsequently go back during resurrection? …. Even if we admit the existence of a soul in these portentous animals, the naturalist and the philosopher are both embarassed. And if we try to get out of the problem by admitting that these animals do not have a soul, why can’t we say the same of many others? Spallanzani to Voltaire May 31, 1776 Voltaire
Spallanzani Notes on the blind flight of bats
Camillo Golgi 1875
I spend long hours at the microscope. I am delighted that I have found a new reaction to demonstrate even to the blind the structure of the interstitial stroma of the cerebral cortex. I let the silver nitrate react with the pieces of brain hardened in potassium dichromate. I have obtained magnificent results and hope to do even better in the future. Letter of Camillo Golgi to Nicolò Manfredi February 16, 1873
