The document discusses 5 brain states related to threat and emotional responses. Brain state 1 has the neocortex and subcortex as primary areas, while state 5 is dominated by the brainstem. States 1-3 are considered homeostatic, involving physiological processing with the vagal brake engaged. These states promote prosocial development. States 4-5 are allostatic with the vagal brake disengaged, processing through the midbrain and brainstem. These states involve hedonic, ego-based rewards that activate short-term positive but long-term negative emotions, failing to promote emotional and social development.

- 4. Homeostatic Brain States(1-3) • Homeostasis From Greek “homeo” meaning same and “stasis” meaning stable. Physiological processing in brain states in which vagal brake is engaged. • Eudonic Reward Prosocial rewards, which are effective in activating positive emotions in short-term and long term. Promote the emotional and social development that supports survival of the species.
- 5. • Allostasis Allostatic BrainStates (4-5) From Greek “allo” meaning change and “stasis” meaning stable. Physiological processing in brain states in which vagal brake is disengaged. • Hedonic Reward Ego-based rewards, which are effective in activating positive emotions in short-term and negative emotions in the long term. Fails to promote or blocks the emotional and social development that supports survival of the species.
