Breaking the Stasis in the Polyvagal Controversy
Natureza Gabriel Kram and Heather L. MacDuffie
Authored by the producer of this record. Listed as a proposal, not as a finding of the record.
Summary
The paper argues that the controversy cannot be resolved as it is currently framed. Both positions, it proposes, treat the neurology of the vagal pathways and the neurochemistry that pervades them as one question.
Separated, each side can be correct on its own terms without the two positions contradicting each other.
The paper proposes pervading neurochemistry as a third dimension of autonomic state, and states the predictions that follow.
