The vagus nerve is the main element of the adaptive nervous system.
Polyvagal theory details the structure and function of the distinct dual segments of the vagus, all of which arise in the medulla.
The hypothesis was presented in 1994 by Dr. Stephen Porges; The Polyvagal Theory suggests that human beings have physical reactions, such as physiological and digestive changes, correlated to their body language.
The divisions of the vagal nerve serve multiple biological stress reactions in mammals. In essence, the more simplistic branch induces immobilization behaviors (e.g., feigning death), while the more evolved is linked to social communication.
Such functions obey a phylogenetic order, where the more basic structures are enabled only when, the more complex functions malfunction. Such neural circuits control the autonomic process and the transmission of emotional and social behavior.
Therefore, according to this principle, the natural environment determines the expression of action and psychological awareness. The polyvagal hypothesis has a variety of consequences for the study of pain, anxiety, and social behavior.
This book intends to cover all the aspects relating to the vagus nerve and Polyvagal theory. In this comprehensive document, you will be able to learn:
- A brief introduction of the vagus nerve
- An insight into Polyvagal theory
- How neural pathways regulate the social behaviors and expression of emotions
- How to active our vagus nerve
- Self-help exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve
- Impact of Polyvagal theory on Behavioral diseases

A negative effect of the ageing population is that more individuals are experiencing cognitive decline and some form of neurodegenerative disease. With the number of people experiencing dementia likely to double in the next 20 years, this change in society presents one of greatest challenges facing public health personnel in the 21st century. The aim of this volume is to describe research that is in progress, and the major findings that have been obtained in the scientific study of dementia.
The chapters in the first section of the book focus upon early signs of dementia, and consider several approaches to finding early cognitive signs and biological markers of dementia. The second section considers whether dementia is inevitable for people who become very old, and features chapters on risk factors and proactive influences, cognitive reserve and intervention. Each chapter in the final section describes phenomena which are related to differences in function between memory systems, including anterograde memory in fronto-temporal dementia, and the role semantic memory and semantic cognition may play in developing an understanding of the development of the degenerative processes in dementia.
With contributions from world-class researchers in this area, the volume offers a concise overview of key findings in recent research on dementia and memory. It will be of great interest to researchers and advanced students of cognitive psychology, and to those working in related fields, such as gerontology, rehabilitation sciences, and allied health.

Wolf Название: Functional Cognition and Occupational Therapy: A Practical Approach to Treating Individuals With Cognitive Loss ISBN: 1569006016 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781569006016 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 122010.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Functional cognition describes the ability to participate in everyday activities, combining the constructs of function and cognition. Substantial literature now exists to support assessment and intervention methods for functional–cognitive deficits, and policymakers are increasingly requiring improved methods to track functional cognition and address it across health changes. This is the first comprehensive text to focus on methods to assess and develop interventions for people with functional–cognitive impairments.Numerous videos, practical how-to information, theoretical bases, OTPF–3 alignment, and current evidence guide students and clinicians in integrating assessment information into the context of clinical care. Readers can immediately apply what they learn to those with whom they work.Highlights Include—Section I. Foundations. 2 chapters provide context to define functional cognition and outline occupational therapy’s specific role in working with people with cognitive loss, including current policy considerations related to implementing strategies and reimbursement.Section II. Assessment. 14 chapters cover the principles of functional–cognitive assessment; describe performance-based ADL and IADL assessment tools in detail, including development, components, administration, scoring, and interpretation; and discuss how to use assessment information to develop a treatment plan.Section III. Intervention. 5 chapters discuss learning and transfer and how to select an intervention framework most appropriate for clients based on their assessment results. Several approaches are presented, each with background, components, treatment planning, and video demonstrations for use in practice. The section is followed by an appendix with case examples that guide readers in administering and interpreting assessments, selecting an intervention approach, developing a treatment plan, administering the treatment, and tracking progress and outcomes.Purchasers of the print book receive free access to online content with the book - all instructions included in the book.
