‎---- Seconde édition (AUGMENTEE) ---- BEL ENVOI de CANNON au PROFESSEUR Louis LAPICQUE ainsi libellé : "To Louis LAPICQUE, a true friend with gratitude and affection - signé Walter B. CANNON" ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Observation of the effect of strong emotions on gastrointestinal motility led Cannon to examination of the sympathetic nervous system and its emergency function. Cannon showed the close connexion between the endocrine glands and the emotions". (GARRISON N° 1124 1st ed.) ---- "It was the observation that the movements of the stomach and intestines ceases whenever his animals became excited that aroused Cannon's interest in the autonomic nervous system... Over a period of more than twenty years, which began in 1911, Cannon and his many students published a long series of papers in which was set forth evidence that under conditions of physiological stress the sympathetic system and its constituent part, the adrenal medulla, act to produce visceral adjustments which are nicely adapted to the preservation of the individual. The earlier results were reported and interpreted in the first edition of Bodily changes in pain, huger, fear... (1915) ; a second edition (1929) presented much new evidence bearing on the general them and included an account of notable experiments on thirst and a discussion of the central mechanisms involved in emotional behavior and emotional experience...".
