TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the physiological origins and mechanisms of heart rate variability, considered quantitative approaches to measurement, and highlighted important caveats in the interpretation of heart rates variability, and outlined guidelines for research in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polyvagal perspective
TL;DR: The polyvagal perspective emphasizes how an understanding of neurophysiological mechanisms and phylogenetic shifts in neural regulation leads to different questions, paradigms, explanations, and conclusions regarding autonomic function in biobehavioral processes than peripheral models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orienting in a defensive world: Mammalian modifications of our evolutionary heritage. A Polyvagal Theory
TL;DR: The Polyvagal Theory is introduced to explain the different functions of the two primary medullary source nuclei of the vagus and speculates that mammalian, but not reptilian, brainstem organization is characterized by a ventral vagal complex related to processes associated with attention, motion, emotion, and communication.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polyvagal theory: phylogenetic substrates of a social nervous system
TL;DR: From this phylogenetic orientation, the polyvagal theory proposes a biological basis for social behavior and an intervention strategy to enhance positive social behavior.
Book
The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological Foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation
TL;DR: Porges's Polyvagal Theory has been adopted by clinicians around the world and has provided exciting new insights into the way our autonomic nervous system unconsciously mediates social engagement, trust, and intimacy as discussed by the authors.
