A British neurologist and mathematician, he is best known for his work on the construction of
neural circuits. His technique for quantitative analysis of the complex arborescence of dendrites
and axons remains a major reference even today[1]. See his 1953 article: “Dendritic organization in the neurons of the visual and motor cortices of the cat”, freely available at
