This paper presents an "impossible interview" to Professor Camillo Golgi, placed in time in December 1906. The Italian Professor Golgi from Pavia has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine ex aequo with the Spanish anatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Both scientists have obtained the award for their work on the anatomy of the nervous system. However, they have opposite views on the mechanisms underlying nervous functions. Golgi believes that the axons stained by his "black reaction" form a continuous anatomical or functional network along which nervous impulses propagate. Ramón y Cajal is the paladin of the neuron theory, a hypothesis questioned by Golgi in his Nobel lecture of Tuesday, December 11. After the ceremony, an independent journalist has interviewed Professor Golgi in the Grand Hotel in Stockholm. Excerpts about his education, his main scientific discoveries, and his personal life are here given (reconstructing the "impossible interview" on the basis of Golgi's original writings).
本文呈现了一场于1906年12月进行的对卡米洛·高尔基教授的“不可能的访谈”。来自帕维亚的意大利教授高尔基与西班牙解剖学家圣地亚哥·拉蒙·伊·卡哈尔共同获得诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。两位科学家均因其在神经系统解剖学方面的工作而获奖。然而，他们在神经功能的潜在机制上持有相反观点。高尔基认为，经他的“黑色反应”染色的轴突形成了一个连续的解剖学或功能网络，神经冲动沿此网络传播。拉蒙·伊·卡哈尔是神经元理论的拥护者，而在12月11日星期二的诺贝尔演讲中，高尔基对这一假说提出了质疑。颁奖典礼结束后，一位独立记者在斯德哥尔摩的大酒店对高尔基教授进行了采访。此处给出了关于他的教育背景、主要科学发现以及个人生活的节选内容（基于高尔基的原始著作重构这场“不可能的访谈”）。
