We introduce the autonomic nervous system, neuroanatomy and polyvagal theory. After the Essay, we have listed interesting resources, including more that polyagal theory, the new theories on how emotions are made, and the human connectome project. We are really a complex series of grids and neurons in our brain and our body. We only ask you understand the neuroanatomy, polyvagal theory, and interpersonal neurobiology, and you are only responsible for the material above the essay, not below
