Defy or ally : Neuroendocrine regulation of human socio-emotional behavior

E.J. Hermans
TL;DR: The view that an integrated account of functioning of the HPA and HPG axes and their influence upon socio-emotional processes, likely through altering neuropeptidergic transmission in limbic brain circuits, may contribute to finding new and more specific treatments of psychopathologies in the socio-Emotional domain is endorsed.

Predicting Preschoolers' Social-Cognitive Play Behavior: Attachment, Peers, Temperament, and Physiological Regulation

TL;DR: Predictive discriminant function analysis showed that children's social–cognitive play was better predicted on the basis of multiple independent variables than individual, zero-order relations.

Inhibitory control moderates the quadratic association between resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia and prosocial behaviors in children.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that IC interacts with resting RSA to contribute to prosocial behaviors in children, and high levels of IC could attenuate the negative impact of high and low resting RSA on prossocial behaviors.

Behavioral and Autonomic Responses in Treating Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder: Clinical and Phenomenological Insights from Two Case Reports.

TL;DR: Evaluating the process applied in subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorder to elaborate and communicate their experiences of daily life activities, as well as to assess the autonomic nervous system response that subtend such a process, highlighted how, in communicating their own experiences, they achieved a state of cognitive activation, which enabled a greater communicative and emotional connection with the interlocutor.

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.
