Homeostasis: The Underappreciated and Far Too Often ... - Frontiers frontiersin.org 6 facts
claimThe 1943 paper 'Behavior, Purpose and Teleology' by Arturo Rosenblueth, Norbert Wiener, and Julian Bigelow established that the mathematical principles of control theory could be applied to explain behavior in living organisms.
referenceThe article 'Homeostasis: The Underappreciated and Far Too Often Ignored Central Organizing Principle of Physiology' identifies physiology, homeostasis, internal milieu, Claude Bernard, Walter Cannon, control theory, feedback regulation (negative and positive), and cybernetics as key concepts.
claimJames Clerk Maxwell published a mathematical analysis of the Watt governor in 1868 that established the principles for understanding self-regulating devices and formed the foundation of control theory.
claimThe concept of feedback regulation in living organisms co-evolved with the mathematical concepts of control theory in mechanical systems.
claimThe 1943 paper 'A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in the Nervous Activity' by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts established that the mathematical principles of control theory could be applied to explain behavior in living organisms.
claimThe application of control theory from systems engineering explains self-regulation in biological systems, identifying that the constancy of internal physiochemical conditions is maintained by the interaction of multiple negative and positive feedback systems.

claimA framework combining information theory and control theory provides insights into the fundamental limits of intracellular noise reduction within negative feedback and genetic networks.
claimThe application of control theory concepts to neuronal homeostasis has clarified many underlying theoretical aspects and has suggested new experimental and computational approaches to better understand these processes.

claimThe historical evolution of the understanding of physiological regulation progressed from the Greek concept of body humors, to Claude Bernard's concept of 'milieu intérieur,' and finally to Walter Cannon's formulation of 'homeostasis' and the application of control theory, including feedback and feedforward regulation.
