Biography
Spanish neuroscientist who discovered microglia, a type of neuroglia (glial cell) located throughout the brain and spinal cord.
He worked with the histologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal and briefly with Wilder Penfield. Ramón y Cajal discovered neurons, Penfield helped explain oligodendroglia, whilst Rio Hortega discovered microglia, which are the cells that protect the brain from infection.
Río Hortega was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, 1929 and 1937, this second in the middle of the Spanish Civil War. In 1939 his discovery about microglia was published as a popular science article.
He died on 1 June 1945 at age 63 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the victim of cancer that he himself diagnosed. Currently and since October 1986, his remains rest in the Pantheon of Illustrious Men of Valladolid.
