It seems particularly appropriate that this pioneering collection
of papers should be dedicated to Donald Sholl since those of us who
count, measure, and reconstruct elements of the neural en emble are
all very much in his debt. Sholl was certainly not the first to
attempt quantification of certain aspects of brain structure. No
computers were available to him for the kind of answers he sought,
and some of his answers - or rather his interpretations - may not
stand the test of time. But we remember him because of the
questions he asked and for the reasons he asked them. At a time
when the entire family of Golgi techniques was in almost total
eclipse, he had the judgment to rely on them. And in a period when
the canonical neuron was a perfect sphere (the enormous dendritic
superstructure being almost forgotten), he was one of a very few
who looked to dendrite extension and pattern as a prime clue to the
overall problem of neuronal connectivity.
