Inflammation-Nature's Way to Efficiently Respond to All Types of Challenges: Implications for Understanding and Managing "the Epidemic" of Chronic Diseases.

TL;DR: It is concluded that healthcare professionals must advocate for an anti-inflammatory lifestyle at the patient level as well as at the local and national levels to enhance population health and well-being.

Matters of the variable heart: respiratory sinus arrhythmia response to marital interaction and associations with marital quality.

TL;DR: Resting HF-HRV was correlated with marital quality, suggesting that capacity for self-regulation is associated with adaptive functioning in close relationships, and reduced health benefit from marriage might reflect the depleting effects on self-regulatory capacity of their greater efforts to manage relationship quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociation: An insufficiently recognized major feature of complex posttraumatic stress disorder.

TL;DR: It is postulated that traumatization essentially involves some degree of division or dissociation of psychobiological systems that constitute personality, and that dissociation parts manifest in negative and positive dissociative symptoms that should be distinguished from alterations of consciousness.

The interactive effect of marital conflict and stress reactivity on externalizing and internalizing symptoms: The role of laboratory stressors

TL;DR: Results indicate that the interaction between ANS reactivity and marital conflict significantly predicted children's behavior problems, but the direction of the effect varied with the nature of the challenge task (i.e., interpersonal or cognitive).

Candidate genes of anxiety-related behavior in HAB/LAB rats and mice: Focus on vasopressin and glyoxalase-I

TL;DR: Two animal models of trait anxiety, HAB/LAB rats and mice, are described, representing inborn extremes in anxiety-related behavior, and the further identification of quantitative trait loci, candidate genes (and their products) and SNPs will help to explain inter-individual variation in emotional behavior and reveal novel targets for anxiolytic and antidepressive interventions.

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.
