Question

what type of cells were part of the nervous system? What experiments did they use? Who was the first to find this out?

Can someone please help and answer this.

Answer 1

I'm afraid I don't know the answer but you could probably find that information on wikipidia. Do a search there and you'll get what you're after.

Answer 2

This question probably belongs over in the biology or medicine sections.
