es our behavior. Thus the proper working of our autonomic nervous system is central to our emotional as well as physical health and well-being. Dr. Porges's Polyvagal framework has allowed me to achieve positive results with health issues as far-ranging as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),

"Dorsal vagus.") One shows those innervated by the ventral vagus, and the other shows those innervated by the dorsal vagus. OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE VENTRAL BRANCH OF THE VAGUS NERVE The ventral branch of the vagus nerve originates in the brainstem, at the top of the spinal cord under the brain. (See "

testing for autism evaluates behavior and defines different kinds of autism, but does not consider the underlying physiological factors in terms of Porges's new interpretation of the function of the autonomic nervous system. As a result, treatments have mostly focused on training the parents to try to

ncing, and vibrating. More importantly, I experienced an improvement in my hearing and in my ability to hear speech more clearly. At his lectures, Porges presented inspiring videos showing some of the changes in the children and how, when they could understand what was being said, they emerged from t

Polyvagal Theory in my clinical practice and in my teaching. When I went home to Denmark, I could not set up a lab to do the kind of testing that Porges had done, and I did not have access to his process of testing and acoustic stimulation. But I decided to work with certain clients on the autism sp

L The test for CN XI gives the same results in terms of indicating function/ dysfunction as do tests for the ventral branch of CN X. CN XI AND THE VENTRAL VAGUS BRANCH The Trap Squeeze Test for CN XI gives us an indication of the function/ dysfunction of not only CN XI but also the other four nerves n
