Journal Article
Atropine Sulfate Effects on Aviator Performance and on Respiratory-Heart Period Interactions
TL;DR: Electrocardiogram data were used to estimate the amplitude of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) which was more sensitive thanmean heart period or mean heart period variance to the effects of atropine and parasympathetic effects were relatively rapid in onset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vagal Mediation of the Effect of Alcohol on Heart Rate
TL;DR: The results indicated that the acute effect of a moderate dose of alcohol on the heart is parasympathetically mediated and has no significant direct sympathetic component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia and social interaction patterns in preterm newborns
TL;DR: Preliminary findings suggest that an assessment protocol which includes social interaction behavior and RSA may be useful in identifying infants who are at greatest risk for developmental and relationship disturbances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motivation, sustained attention, and autonomic regulation in school-age boys exposed in utero to opiates and alcohol.
TL;DR: Although opiate-exposed boys did not differ in performance as a function of incentive or interest, they had a tendency to perform more poorly overall across tasks, and alcohol exposure rather than opiate exposure covaried with autonomic regulation, with greater RSA decreases being associated with more alcohol exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyvagal Theory: A biobehavioral journey to sociality
TL;DR: A polyvagal perspective clarifies the neurobiological and biobehavioral shifts that occurred during evolutionary transition from asocial reptiles to social mammals and emphasizes sociality as the core process in mitigating threat reactions and supporting mental and physical health.
