Polyvagal Theory and Stress
Roll back
| description |
Stephen Porges' polyvagal theory has been impacting the field of psychophysiology for decades, and is now increasingly influential in the behavioral sciences. In this discussion, Joshua Sylvae, PhD, will detail the form and function of the autonomic nervous system, and in particular its relationship to cranial nerves originating in the brainstem. The importance of these interrelationships for efficacious functioning of body and mind will be touched on.

Calorie restriction has been associated with greater longevity, how does that affect the brain? Gail Stonebarger is currently collaborating with the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to determine whether calorie restriction (CR) of 30% is able to delay or slow brain aging in rhesus macaque monkeys. Previously, CR has been shown in various species to enhance cognition and metabolic function, extend lifespan, and, in this population, extend healthspan. In this talk, Gail will discuss normal and pathological brain aging, the unique population of very old monkeys housed at the NIA, what effects CR has on the brain, and will also include future directions of this research. |
