Empathy and Collective Action

TL;DR: A neurologically-informed formal model of collective action that reveals the role for empathy and distress in motivating costly helping behaviors was introduced by as mentioned in this paper, based on a brain circuit that their lab has recently characterized called HOME (Human Oxytocin Mediated Empathy) System.

The interactive effects of heart rate variability and mindfulness on indicators of well-being in healthcare professionals' daily working life.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between HRV and mindfulness from a within-person perspective in the context of work and found that short-term HRV was marginally significantly related to decreased emotional exhaustion, while state mindfulness was significantly associated with increased relaxation and contentment.

Masking Stress with Misbehaviour:A Shanker Self-Reg® Lens

TL;DR: Shanker as discussed by the authors argued that self-regulation makes self-control possible by understanding stress and effectively managing our energy and tension levels, and the five steps of Shanker Self-Reg® are discussed in this paper.

Methods and systems for reducing sound sensitivities and improving auditory processing, behavioral state regulation and social engagement behaviors

TL;DR: In this paper, the anti-masking functions of the middle ear muscles were recruited to optimize the transfer function of the mid ear for the processing of human speech, in order to reduce sound sensitivities, improve state regulation, and/or reduce auditory processing and social engagement deficits.

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.
