Inertia of emotions and inertia of the heart: Physiological processes underlying inertia of negative emotions at work.

TL;DR: It is proposed that temporal dependency of negative emotions at work may be associated to lower HRV, an important marker of the ability to flexibly adjust to a changing environment and findings supported the hypothesis and indicated that workers with lowerHRV tend to show high time persistence of negative emotion at work.

Leveraging parasympathetic nervous system activity to study risk for psychopathology: The special case of callous-unemotional traits.

TL;DR: It is argued that the inclusion of measures of PNS activity can significantly enhance understanding of the etiology of CU traits, provide clarity to the inconsistent findings of prior studies, and advance mechanistically-targeted interventions and treatments.

Evidence for decreased parasympathetic response to a novel peer interaction in older children with autism spectrum disorder: a case-control study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the autonomic nervous system response to a peer-based social interaction paradigm in 50 typically developing (TD) children and 50 children with ASD (ages 10-13).

Targeting the Autonomic Nervous System Balance in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain Using Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation: A Randomized, Crossover, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study.

TL;DR: HRV metrics collected in a previously published study of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for the modulation of CLBP were analyzed to support the further study of how the ANS and alpha oscillations interact and are modulated by tACS.

Orienting in a defensive world: Mammalian modifications of our evolutionary heritage. A Polyvagal Theory

TL;DR: The Polyvagal Theory is introduced to explain the different functions of the two primary medullary source nuclei of the vagus and speculates that mammalian, but not reptilian, brainstem organization is characterized by a ventral vagal complex related to processes associated with attention, motion, emotion, and communication.

Neuroendocrine perspectives on social attachment and love

TL;DR: A review of existing behavioral and neuroendocrine perspectives on social attachment and love reveals a recurrent association between high levels of activity in the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and the subsequent expression of social behaviors and attachments.
Journal ArticleDOI

The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat

TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.
