Dare to be thoughtful about your nervous system. Understanding the basics makes being human an awful lot easier since wiring is everywhere and often on autopilot…

ANS: The Autonomic Nervous System

The autonomic nervous system is divided into two subsystems, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic, which work in tandem, either in a synergistic or an antagonistic way.
