The globally integrated network that interconnects the nervous system with the endocrine system and the immune system
The existence of this global network has been established by C. PERT and results of the general action of about 50 to 70 different peptides which act as messengers and mediators between the more specifically acting systems
In the words of F. CAPRA, who offers a synthesis of PERT's research the “conceptual separations are merely historical artifacts that can no longer be maintained”(1997, p. 282)
