Journal ArticleDOI

Autonomic markers of emotional processing: skin sympathetic nerve activity in humans during exposure to emotionally charged images.

TL;DR: It is concluded that SSNA, comprising cutaneous vasoconstrictor and sudomotor activity, increases with both positively charged and negatively charged emotional images.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real-time imaging of cortical areas involved in the generation of increases in skin sympathetic nerve activity when viewing emotionally charged images.

TL;DR: These data reveal for the first time, cortical and subcortical sites involved in generating SSNA changes during emotions, and increases in signal intensity during increases in SSNA occurred in a number of brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skin sympathetic nerve activity in humans during exposure to emotionally-charged images: sex differences.

TL;DR: It is concluded that SSNA increases with both positively-charged and negatively-charged emotional images, yet sex differences are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective activation of muscle and skin nociceptors does not trigger exaggerated sympathetic responses in spinal-injured subjects.

TL;DR: While hypertonic saline injected into muscle or skin induces strong pain, cutaneous vasoconstriction and sweat release in able-bodied subjects, the authors saw no evidence of exaggerated sympathoexcitation when these same noxious stimuli were delivered below lesion in subjects with SCI, suggesting that certain types of somatic noxious input may not trigger autonomic dysreflexia.
