Why Is Walter Bradford Cannon Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Walter Bradford Cannon was an American physiologist, professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School. He coined the term "fight or flight response", and developed the theory of homeostasis. He popularized his theories in his book The Wisdom of the Body, first published in 1932.
