Journal ArticleDOI
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction in psychiatric disorders and the impact of psychotropic medications: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Combined findings confirm substantial reductions in HRV across psychiatric disorders, and these effects remained significant even in medication-free individuals, highlighting a need for treatment providers to consider modifiable cardiovascular risk factors to attenuate this risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for Reporting Articles on Psychiatry and Heart rate variability (GRAPH): recommendations to advance research communication
TL;DR: The Guidelines for Reporting Articles on Psychiatry and Heart rate variability (GRAPH), a checklist with four domains: participant selection, interbeat interval collection, data preparation and HRV calculation, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of a course of intranasal oxytocin on social behaviors in youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders: a randomized controlled trial
Adam J. Guastella,Kylie Megan Gray,Nicole Joan Rinehart,Nicole Joan Rinehart,Gail A. Alvares,Bruce J. Tonge,Ian B. Hickie,Caroline Keating,Cristina Cacciotti-Saija,Stewart L. Einfeld +9 more
TL;DR: Although results did not suggest clinical efficacy, further research is needed to explore alternative delivery methods, earlier age of intervention, and the influence of caregiver expectation on treatment response.
Journal ArticleDOI
The correlation between central and peripheral oxytocin concentrations: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Mathias Valstad,Gail A. Alvares,Maiken Egknud,Anna Maria Matziorinis,Ole A. Andreassen,Lars T. Westlye,Daniel Quintana +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate a coordination of central and peripheral oxytocin release after stress and after intranasal administration, and the approach of using peripheral Oxytocin levels to approximate central levels under basal conditions is not supported by the present results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do delivery routes of intranasally administered oxytocin account for observed effects on social cognition and behavior? A two-level model.
TL;DR: A two-level model involving three pathways to account for responses observed in both social cognition and behavior after intranasal OT administration is proposed and avenues for future research to advance this research field are suggested.
