Overview: The Polyvagal Theory
1. Evolutionprovides an organizing principleto understand
neural regulation of the human autonomic nervous
system.
2. Three neural circuits form a phylogenetically-ordered
response hierarchy that regulate behavioral and
physiological adaptationto safe, dangerous, and life
threatening environments.
3. “Neuroception” of danger or safety or life threat trigger
these adaptive neural circuits.
4. New models relating neural regulation to health, learning,
and social behavior may be reversed-engineeredinto
treatments.
