Effects of Back Touching on Tidal Volume

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of soft touching on an experiment participant's back on tidal volume (TV), as an increase in TV was considered an indication of enhanced relaxation, were examined, and subjective indicators suggested that the relaxation was enhanced by soft touching.

Socioemotional Mechanisms of Children’s Differential Response to the Effects of Maternal Sensitivity on Child Adjustment

TL;DR: The proposed mechanistic model of susceptibility to maternal sensitivity offers a novel framework of for whom and how children are affected by early maternal care, highlighting multiple reciprocal, interacting influences across genes, physiology, behavior, and the environment.

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.
