Parasympathetic Memory

I found this information on a series on Netflix called “Human; The World Within”.

Our brain has the synthetic & the parasympathetic memory, these are part of the autonomic nervous system. The synthetic is like the fight-or-flight system. Very quick response.

A build up of even constant synthetic response causes stress within the muscles.

Then it’s when your parasympathetic nervous system takes hold, kind of like a last-resort.

The parasympathetic nervous system helps you do the things that the brain does that we just don’t think of.

A good example which I’ve used before is blinking or even breathing (I haven’t used that before though).
