This small monograph presents in English translation an anthology of selected writings of Ramón y Cajal on perhaps the most complex subdivision of the neuraxis, the diencephalon. The subject matter has been organized synthetically in a systematic and comprehensive manner using where possible the nomenclature of current English language textbooks. The monograph contains many illustrations from the original papers; but unlike some of the original illustrations, the legends are complete. There is a good table of contents, a well organized index, and bibliography citing references in their entirety, which was not always the custom of Cajal or early investigators. Each chapter gives in a footnote the original source of the translated material, thus making it possible for the reader to compare for himself the original with the translation.
