Il sistema nervoso autonomico (SNA) gioca un ruolo di rilievo nella regolazione della salute dell’organismo e dei suoi processi di adattamento agli stressor. Tuttavia, spesso viene data poca attenzione ai suoi legami con i sistemi immunitario ed endocrino. Ancor di più, poca attenzione viene data a come l’SNA si sviluppa durante la gestazione e a quali fattori possono interferire con la sua maturazione, nonostante oggi, tramite l’analisi della variabilità della frequenza cardiaca (HRV), è possibile monitorare lo sviluppo dell’SNA persino a livello fetale e prevenire complicazioni potenzialmente letali. Scopo di questo articolo è, pertanto, fornire un quadro della complessità dello sviluppo dell’SNA, con specifici accenni al nervo vago, con particolare attenzione ai fattori ambientali che possono interferire durante lo sviluppo fetale e neonatale, fornendo in conclusione rilevanti spunti per la pratica clinica.;

Keywords:Sviluppo fetale, Sistema nervoso autonomico, Nervo vago, Heart rate variability, Perinatalità, Fattori ambientali.
