[Brain and behavior].
The author briefly reviews the milestones in recent developments in brain and behaviour research. The psychological and physiological disciplines have developed in parallell, with mutual benefit to both areas of research. Cognitive models in psychology, and taxonomy based on psychological analyses, have been instrumental in formulating proper hypotheses in brain research. Data from brain and behaviour research have confirmed cognitive models and taxonomy in cognitive science and in ethological studies of animals. A complex, multidisciplinary and multi-factorial concept of a self-regulating central nervous network emerges, to replace earlier concepts of single neurons functioning in simple reflex chains.
