Why Is Geoffrey Harris Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Geoffrey Wingfield Harris was a British physiologist and neuroendocrinologist. Often considered the "father of neuroendocrinology", he is best known for showing that the anterior pituitary is regulated by the hypothalamus via the hypophyseal portal system. His work established the principles for the 1977 Nobel Prize-winning discovery of hypothalamic hormones by Schally and Guillemin.
