Pavlov summarized the era of his work on digestive physiology leading up to the description of psychic secretions in a collection of nine lectures. These lectures were transcribed and eventually translated by William H. Thompson in 1902. The Work of the Digestive Glands collected in writing most of the work that would earn Pavlov a Nobel Prize in 1904.
