The Nobel lecture address, delivered by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1904. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was famous for his research into the physiology of digestion, and conducted experiments into the function of conditioned reflexes, in particular "psychic secretion", caused by food stimuli at a distance from an animal, and established three principals for the theory of reflexes: the principal of determinism, the principal of analysis and synthesis, and the principal of structure. These principals helped greatly towards the building-up of a scientific theory of medicine and towards the discovery of laws governing the functioning of an organism as a whole.
