GLOSSARY

Regulation

REGULATION is the ability of the Brain-Body to maintain a stable internal environment.

REGULATION occurs through the CYCLE of 2 important functions:  SENSING and RESPONDING. 

REGULATION occurs through constant, instantaneous communication (messages-SIGNALS) via the brain, autonomic nervous system, circulatory, endocrine, and immune systems.

DYSREGULATION is when the Brain-Body gets outside the optimal, stable range. Prolonged DYSREGULATION drives disease-promoting pathways.
