Abstract in brief

  • The polyvagal theory explores the relationship between autonomic nervous system functions and behavior, highlighting neural circuits involved in regulating autonomic states and viewing reactivity as adaptive across evolutionary history.
  • It stresses understanding neurophysiological mechanisms and evolutionary changes in neural regulation to ask different questions and develop new explanations about how the autonomic nervous system influences behavior, distinguishing itself from simpler peripheral models.
  • The perspective emphasizes the significance of phylogenetic (evolutionary) shifts in neural structures, particularly in the vagal systems, to better understand their adaptive functions and regulation within biobehavioral processes.]
