Polyvagal theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, offers a revolutionary framework for understanding the intricate relationship between the gut and the brain[1]. This theory provides insights into the complex bidirectional communication pathways that underpin gut-brain interactions, shedding new light on disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI)[4]. The Three-Stage Model of Autonomic Regulation Polyvagal theory proposes a three-stage evolutionary model of autonomic regulation: Dorsal Vagal System:...
