%X This article presents the process of relocation of hegemonies and ¡°center-periphery¡± dynamics in neuroanatomy after World War II through the study of the links between the Spanish anatomical school of Jos¨¦ Escolar Garc¨ªa and some German institutions. We have analyzed their works on the morphology of the neuroendocrine system as a case study, showing how the first contacts of the Spaniards with the United States started a material transfer process between centers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean through the mediation¡ªand adaptation¡ªof the periphery. The case also shows how scientific networks in the ¡°new¡± Europe were reestablished after the Nazi era and how important these systems were for the transfer of knowledge, using them for the circulation of experts, instruments, and even biological samples
