Answer: He might conclude that the hypothalamus of the brain is the important link between the two systems

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. Paivio studies will reveal that

- both the endocrine system and the nervous system work together to bring about coordination of the body activities like ensuring homeostasis (a stable internal environment in the body).

- the endocrine system uses HORMONES; while the nervous system uses ELECTRICAL IMPULSES and CHEMICAL IMPULSES.

Thus, his conclusion would be that the hypothalamus is the link between both systems controlling hormones secretion from the pituitary gland, and also serving as the main controlling centre for the autonomic nervous system.
