Kalat Chapter 3 - Anatomy and Research Methods and Chapter 4 - Brain…

- - - - exposure therapy: pairing experience (SNS) with relaxation (PSN)
        
        body experiences --> you interpret those body experiences
    - - Old vagus never
      - New vagus system
      - HRV (heart rate variability)
        
        meditators have more consistent HRV; brain rewiring in the areas related to arousal and emotions (pre-fontral medial cortex tends to be stronger and more active --> better impulse control) central on how our heart operates and how we regulate our emotions
- - - - MEDITATION helps regulate
- - - - anything in the environment that can impact fetal development; and the timing of these teratogens have an impact on the effects--i.e. alcohol in the first 4 months of pregnancy will have different effects than alcohol in the last 2 months
        
        nicotine -- cuts off oxygen to fetus in development --> ADHD STUDY
        
        fetal alcohol syndrome--alcohol is a depressant- decreases neuron development
    - - we can refine this understanding by learning how: neurons develop, their axons connect, experience modifies development
