The second was the Golgi-Mazzoni corpuscles, specialized structures in neurons in the fingertips that respond to stimuli or pressure. In addition, by using his black reaction staining technique, Golgi analyzed regions of the nervous system and illustrated his findings. In , Golgi published the compiled images in a book. From to , Golgi researched malaria and determined the cycle of development of the malaria parasite.
Golgi discovered two forms of malaria. One caused a fever every other day, while another caused a fever every third day. Golgi related the delayed time of the recurring fever to how long it took for a large number of parasites to mature and release into the bloodstream. In , Golgi discovered a dense body within cells he called an internal reticular apparatus. The structure floated in the cytoplasm of cells, not connected to the cell's nucleus. Later, that reticulum was re-named the Golgi apparatus, a structure responsible for the sorting, packing, and modifying proteins within the cell.
However, at the time of Golgi's discovery, scientists doubted the existence of the internal reticular apparatus. In the s, researchers confirmed the existence of the internal reticular apparatus, or Golgi apparatus, using a powerful microscope.
Golgi continued to work in his laboratory until he died on 21 January , at age eighty-two. Camillo Golgi — By: Isra Mishqat.

In , studying the nervous system with his black reaction, Golgi noticed in neurons an intracellular structure, whose existence he officially reported in April The discovery of this cell organelle was a real breakthrough in cytology and cell biology.
However, the existence of the Golgi apparatus was debated for decades many scientists believed that it only represented a staining artefact and was only confirmed in the mids by the use of the electron microscope. The Golgi apparatus plays a key role in the intracellular sorting, trafficking and targeting of proteins. This organelle makes Golgi the most frequently cited scientist in cell and molecular biology.
The year marks the centenary of this discovery, celebrated in many scientific journals and meetings. Rigorous, determined, highly motivated scientist and stimulating teacher, Golgi left a heritage of passionate studies that exerted a profound influence on biomedical research in the 20 th century. The Black Reaction — La reazione nera. The Purkinje cell of the cerebellum is used as an example to illustrate the revelatory power of the Golgi stain, and why it was and still is important.
The extension and orientation of dendrites of the Purkinje cells provided a key for the understanding of how the cerebellar cortex is built up and works the same could be stated for all other structures of the brain, in which how neuronal processes are arranged is the prerequisite for their functioning. The anatomist Evangelista Purkinje described the large cells in the cerebellum A that bear his name.
No branches can be seen even in the routine histological stains thionin, cresyl violet still used nowadays B. C demonstrates that the Golgi stain fully visualizes the entire extent of ramifications of this particular neuronal cell type and its spatial orientation.
This is crucial for the functioning of the cerebellar cortex, since the axons of granule cells called parallel fibers coursing tangentially establish several hundred thousands of contacts with the dendrites of each Purkinje cell D. C illustrates a Golgi-impregnated Purkinje cell with the full extent of its dendritic arborizations.
Freeman and Company. Without knowing how and where the individual cell bodies extend their processes it would have been very hard to have clues on the organization of the cerebellar cortex. The same applies to all the other neural structures. It's called a perinuclear body, and it's actually right near the endoplasmic reticulum as well. And when proteins come out of the endoplasmic reticulum, they go into the Golgi for further processing.
For example, carbohydrates are put on some of the proteins, and then afterwards these glycoproteins--meaning they have carbohydrate as well as protein on them, these glycoproteins move out of the Golgi to the rest of the cell. And they do so inside other vesicles. Those vesicles are actually made from the Golgi network.
