The psychoneuroimmuneendocrine system, epigenetics, and the integration of morphogenetic fields: a systematic review of their role in unconscious ontogenesis
Rafael Bustos Saldaña
BackgroundUnconscious/implicit processes are increasingly conceptualized as biologically instantiated, multisystem regulatory functions rather than purely psychological constructs. This review examines whether an integrative framework linking psychoneuroimmuneendocrine (PINE) regulation, epigenetic mechanisms, and principles of morphogenetic organization can help organize evidence relevant to “unconscious ontogenesis.”ObjectiveTo systematically review empirical evidence on PINE-related regulatio
