Doctor Sir Charles Scott Sherrington is one of the most famous scientists who studied neurons and the work of reflexes in the body. Born in the heart of the British Empire, Charles was raised in an environment that fostered education and a love for the arts, which remained with him for the rest of his life. After studying in a prestigious school, he was guided by excellent mentors in the university, from where he earned a degree in medicine. Sherrington doggedly pursued his education for years, combining his studies with hands-on research into neurology and pathology of both animals and humans. After successfully completing a number of elite degrees, Sherrington became a professor, where he continued to conduct groundbreaking research into bacteriology, pathology and neurology. His work garnered enough attention that he later became a professor at two extremely prestigious universities, as well as being awarded two dozen honorary degrees from other universities around the world. For his service to Britain, Charles was knighted by the Queen of England. His book on animal physiology served as a standard textbook for university students for several decades. After an extremely long and productive professional life, Sherrington retired, where he continued to correspond with his students and fellow intellectuals around the world. Dying of natural causes at an advanced age, Charles Sherrington is hailed internationally as a pioneering scientist in the fields of neurology and pathology.
