... In 1949 De Robertis moved to the Biological Research Institute in Uruguay, headed by Cajal alumnus C. Estable. He organized the Cellular Ultrastructure Department, housing the first electron microscope in South America, and studied retinal ultrastructure, the separation of pre-and postsynaptic membranes as definitive proof of the neuron theory [6], and correlates of exocytosis in adrenal medullary cells [2]. ...
... In 1953 De Robertis went to Seattle to study with Bennett the ultrastructure of synapses in sympathetic ganglia of frogs and nervecord of earthworms (collected from Bennett's yard) [2]. In April 1954, the seminal discovery of synaptic vesicles in nerve terminals was separately announced by Palade and Palay at the American Association of Anatomists, and by De Robertis and Bennett at the Experimental Biology (FASEB) meeting. ...
