Neuroscience has undergone remarkable development in recent years, with numerous discoveries significantly expanding our understanding of brain function. These advances have also sparked greater interest in, and awareness of, the history of neuroscience. I will outline the initiatives we have undertaken to preserve the history of neuroscience for future generations and to foster interest in this rich legacy. Much of the original historical data behind the greatest discoveries in neuroscience are now lost. However, a recently rediscovered box of histological slides belonging to Sir Charles Sherrington, a pioneer in spinal cord and motor control research, has survived at the University of Oxford since 1936. Sherrington coined the term 'synapse', developed the concept of inhibition in neuronal function, demonstrated the integration of sensory and motor actions of the nervous system, and examined the synaptic activity of single neurons and their integration into neuronal circuits. Here, I shall explore Sherrington's lifetime of discoveries, with reference to histological specimens from his box of slides.
