The subject of this book is neuroendocrinology, that branch of
biological science devoted to the interactions between the two
major integrative organ systems of animals-the endocrine and
nervous systems. Although this science today reflects a fusion of
endocrinology and neurobiology, this synthetic ap proach is
relatively recent. At the beginning of the 20th century, when the
British physiologists, Bayliss and Starling, first proposed
endocrinology to be an independent field of inquiry, they went to
great lengths to establish the autonomy of chemical secretions in
general and their independence from nervous control in particular
(Bayliss, W. M. , and Starling, E. H. , 1902, The mechanism of
pancreatic secretion,]. Physiol. 28:325). They argued with Pav lov,
who said that there was a strong influence of the nervous system on
the gastrointestinal phenomena the endocrinologists were studying.
For several decades, the English physiologists prevailed, at least
in the West; and Pavlov's critique was not taken to heart by the
practitioners of the newly emerging discipline of endocrinology.
Through the work of Harris, the Scharrers, Sawyer, Everett, and
others, there has been something of a scientific detente in the
latter half of this century; the hybrid field of neuroendocrinology
is now regarded as one of the corner stones of modern neural
science and is of fundamental importance in basic and clinical
endocrinology.
