Experimental Combat-Stress Model in Rats: Histological Examination of Effects of Amelogenesis-A Possible Measure of Diminished Vagal Tone Episodes

TL;DR: Developmental defects of enamel-stress histomarker rings (accentuated striae) may be a potential measure of diminished vagal tone in research on extreme stress such as exposure to combat, and an animal model of this measure was developed.

Behavioral Organization in Infants with Intraventricular Hemorrhage: Characteristics and Clinical Implications.

TL;DR: Results suggested easily disorganized and poorly modulated behavioral regulation and low threshold of disorganization and stress in preterm infants diagnosed with IVH III/IV at 36 and 40weeks postmenstrual age.

Higher nicotinic receptor availability in the cingulo-insular network is associated with lower cardiac parasympathetic tone.

TL;DR: This study is the first one to show a neurochemical correlate to the parasympathetic role of the anterior cingulate cortex and the AI, and an association between higher nAChRs availability in the bilateral dACC and the right dorsal AI/frontal operculum and a lower parASYmpathetic tone.

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.
