There is a phylogenetic and ontogenetic hierarchy in which newer circuits inhibit older circuits.
“1) there is a phylogenetic as well as an ontogenetic hierarchy, in which newer circuits inhibit older circuits”
From The vagal paradox: A polyvagal solution (2023) · cites this paper as [30]
Lecture III describes a hierarchy of higher and lower nervous centres and says that lower centres for micturition and defaecation are nearly autonomous at birth but subject to inhibition by higher centres. It also discusses inherited development and differences between humans and lower animals, but the passages do not establish the claimed phylogenetic ordering in which newer circuits generally inhibit older ones. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn response to a challenge, the ANS shifts to states regulated by circuits that evolved earlier, consistent with the Jacksonian principle of dissolution.
“Principle 3. in response to a challenge, the ANS shifts to states regulated by circuits that evolved earlier consistent with the Jacksonian principle of dissolution [30], a guiding principle in neurology”
From The vagal paradox: A polyvagal solution (2023) · cites this paper as [30]
Lecture III describes dissolution as increased activity at a lower, more organised level when a higher level is exhausted. That supports the general principle invoked, but the passages do not establish that the autonomic nervous system shifts to earlier-evolved circuits in response to a challenge. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredDuring responses to brain illness or damage, changes occur in a predictable sequence described as dissolution or evolution in reverse.
“2) during responses to brain illness or damage to the function of brain structures, changes occur in a predictable sequence that has been described as dissolution or evolution in reverse.”

“Awareness of the neural systems underlying Polyvagal Theory informs both therapists and clients regarding the threats to survival that can shift autonomic state, moving it through sequential neural platforms or states that mimic evolution in reverse or dissolution (Jackson, 1884).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
