Cardiac vagal control in response to acute stress during pregnancy: Associations with life stress and emotional support.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of life stress and emotional support on vagal control during rest, reactivity, and recovery during pregnancy were investigated. And they found that pregnant women living with frequent life stressors exhibited more rapid autonomic responses to acute stress, including more rapid vagal rebound after stressors, potentially reflecting physiological adaptation to anticipated high-stress environments; emotional support may enhance these responses.

Second-by-second infant and mother emotion regulation and coregulation processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) was used to examine whether within-infant vagal functioning accounted for between-dyad differences in within-dyads second-by-second emotion regulation and coregulation during free play.

Early physiological regulation predicts the trajectory of externalizing behaviors across the preschool period

TL;DR: Results indicated that only at age 3 was RSA change significantly associated with decreases in externalizing behaviors over time, suggesting that the ability to physiologically regulate by age 3 may contribute to the development of skills that facilitate more control over behavior throughout preschool.

From science to services: Developing a neuroscience-based innovative clinical treatment model to manage severe and repetitive self-harm in a 60-year-old woman with severe personality disorders

TL;DR: In this article, a model based upon neurobiology of threat management that promotes use of social engagement and affect regulation as a strategy to manage heightened threat perceptions and aggression to self and others is introduced.

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.
