Regulation of sinus cardiac rhythm during different states of attention in full-term and preterm 5-month-old infants

TL;DR: The central regulation of the autonomic functions during a shift of attention state is less efficient in healthy VPT infants as compared to their FT peers and the RSA reactivity can be a more sensitive indicator of CNS regulatory disorders than the standard indices of clinical risk.

Evaluating Sensory Processing in Fragile X Syndrome: Psychometric Analysis of the Brain Body Center Sensory Scales (BBCSS)

TL;DR: The development and psychometric properties of a parent/caregiver report, the Brain-Body Center Sensory Scales (BBCSS), based on Polyvagal Theory is described, which suggests that BBCSS subscales reflect unique features related to sensory processing.

Affect Bursts as Evolutionary Precursors of Speech and Music

TL;DR: The expression of the emotion in man and animals as discussed by the authors was probably the most important pioneering work in this area, not only for the study of emotional expression, but for theory and research on emotion in general.

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.

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.
