The Evolution of Sociality and the Polyvagal Theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The polyvagal theory (PT), offered by Porges (2021), proposes that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) was repurposed in mammals, via a second vagal nerve, to suppress defensive strategies and support the expression of sociality. Three critical assumptions of this theory are that (1) the transition of the ANS was associated with the evolution of social ...

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2205-2221, December 2022., 2022 Mutation frequency heat map of spontaneous PTPN11 variants show spatial clustering in the testis due to germline selection explaining the high birth incidence of Noonan syndrome. Some somatic PTPN11 cancer mutations are similarly clustered in testis. Abstract Some spontaneous germline gain‐of‐function mutations promote spermatogonial stem cell clonal ...
