Toward understanding respiratory sinus arrhythmia: relations to cardiac vagal tone, evolution and biobehavioral functions.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the polyvagal theory does not accurately depict evolution of vagal control of heart-rate variability, and that it ignores the phenomenon of cardiac aliasing and disregards the evolution of a functional role for vagal Control of the heart, from cardiorespiratory synchrony in fish to RSA in mammals.

A neurobehavioral model of affiliative bonding: Implications for conceptualizing a human trait of affiliation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the capacity to experience affiliative reward via opiate functioning has a disproportionate weight in determining individual differences in affiliation.

Mental fatigue: costs and benefits.

TL;DR: A framework for mental fatigue is proposed, that involves an integrated evaluation of both expected rewards and energetical costs associated with continued performance, and suggests that the nucleus accumbens, orbitofrontal cortex, amygdala, insula and anterior cingulate cortex are involved.

The Polyvagal Theory: phylogenetic contributions to social behavior.

TL;DR: The Polyvagal Theory is a new conceptualization of the role of vagus and employs several features that MacLean emphasized including the importance of evolution, limbic structures and vagal afferents and focuses on the link between phylogenetic changes in the autonomic nervous system and social behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyvagal Theory and developmental psychopathology: emotion dysregulation and conduct problems from preschool to adolescence.

TL;DR: The importance of Polyvagal Theory toward understanding the etiology of emotion dysregulation, a hallmark of psychopathology, is described and a biosocial developmental model of conduct problems in which inherited impulsivity is amplified through social reinforcement of emotional lability is proposed.

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.
