This recording of a webinar given by Amy Banks, M.D., in April 2011, will introduce participants to the third branch of the autonomic nervous system, the smart vagus nerve. This recording explores in depth the role this neural pathway plays in taming the stress response system so that we can find and maintain healthy human connection. Additionally, the ways that society can shape this neural pathway and how this neural pathway then helps shapes society is also discussed.
