When Not Saying NO Does Not Mean Yes: Psychophysiological Factors Involved in Date Rape

TL;DR: The neurobiology of women's responses to threat needs to be understood as mentioned in this paper, and the polyvagal theory proposed by Stephen Porges may explain why many rape victims do not actively resist.

Resonance, Regulation and Revision: Rosen Method Meets the Growing Edge of Neurological Research

TL;DR: Current neuroscience is confirming that deep listening, presence, and limbic resonance are powerful healing tools as they provide regulation and revision for human beings.

The differential impacts of distraction and acceptance on attentional focus, anxious affect, and executive control under high- and lo-threat circumstances

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the cognitive affect regulation strategies, distraction and acceptance, under high and low-threat conditions on attentional focus and engagement in rumination, worry and suppression, affect, and subsequent executive control were compared.

The neuroscience of fear and anxiety: a primer for clinicians

Lionel Lee
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature discusses how fear and anxiety centers in the mammalian brain were shaped through phylogenetic development to respond to physical and interpersonal threat, and how they continue to benefit in learning and defensive action.

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.
