sympathin

In that same year, W. B. Cannon found an accelerator substance released by the sympathetic nerves, and called it sympathin.5 It was later shown by U.S. von Euler to be a combination of epinephrine and a similar substance called norepinephrine.6 Cannon went on to characterize the function of the sympathetic (norepinephrine) and parasympathetic (acetylcholine) divisions of the autonomic nervous system.

Eventually sympathin was found to be a molecule named norepinephrine (also called noradrenalin), which is very similar in structure to epinephrine (or adrenalin), discussed toward the end of Chapter 2 (see pp. 40-43).
