Key Points

This framework aims to explore how repeated consumptive behaviors can influence autonomic nervous system regulation.
Developed a theoretical framework for ingestive signals.
Investigated the relationship between consumptive behaviors and ANS conditioning.
Focused on state-matched herbal rituals as a context for analysis.
Proposed that repeated ingestive behaviors serve as effective stimuli for ANS conditioning.
Identified potential long-term effects on regulatory setpoints of the autonomic nervous system.

Abstract

A Theoretical Framework for State-Matched Herbal Rituals and ANS Conditioning This paper proposes a theoretical framework designating repeated consumptive behaviours as ingestive signals: discrete, repeatable stimuli capable of conditioning autonomic nervous system (ANS) setpoints over time.
