CHAPTER

The Autonomic Nervous System and its Role in Anxiety

This chapter explores the autonomic nervous system and its control over automatic functions in our body, such as heart rate and breathing. Dr. Huberman discusses the dysregulation of the hinge between the alertness and calmness systems, explaining that it is not caused by disruptions in these systems, but rather by a dysregulated hinge. The role of the insula and prefrontal cortex in interpreting bodily signals and influencing our responses to triggering situations is also highlighted.
