Summary
In the field of the autonomic nervous system, the most exciting future research developments are likely to be, on the one hand, in the subcellular world and, on the other hand, in the world of the brain’s control of the body’s multicellular machines by way of individual neural programs into a unity of somatomotor, autonomic and neuroendocrine behavior. Today we would rephrase the title of Cannon’s book The Wisdom of the Body to The Wisdom of the Brain in Regulating the Body. It is now clear that a dichotomous concept of the autonomic nervous system divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic and being antagonistically organized, could never explain how the brain controls the body’s organs and tissues.
