Acoustic stability in hyrax snorts: vocal tightrope-walkers or wrathful verbal assailants?

TL;DR: In wild hyrax songs, snort harshness was associated with both weight and social rank, but in opposite directions, and playback experiments showed that longer and harsher synthetic snorts, inserted into natural songs, reduced conspecific answer rates.

The Wisdom of the Subcortical Brain

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss how early experiences shaped in the deepest neural networks become organizational schemas that colour our experiences during the lifespan, and how this relationship creates a safe environment to awaken the social engagement system and activate the neural circuits of healing, restoration and growth.

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.
