The neural correlates of maternal sensitivity: an fMRI study.

TL;DR: Maternal sensitivity, intrusiveness, and mother-infant dyadic harmony as correlates of mothers' neural responses to the cries of their own infants are examined.

The importance of the peritraumatic experience in defining traumatic stress.

TL;DR: It is asserted that the predictive validity of Criterion A2 may not be an appropriate metric for evaluating its worth and that individuals adapt to extreme environmental events by responding in a complex and coordinated manner.

Early detection of core deficits in autism.

TL;DR: The goal of this review of the research literature is to discuss approaches to the early detection of autism in infancy, to enable diagnoses to be made before 18 months of age rather than at 24-30 months, the age where diagnoses start to be make now.

Vagal Tank Theory: The Three Rs of Cardiac Vagal Control Functioning - Resting, Reactivity, and Recovery.

TL;DR: The vagal tank theory, building on neurophysiological, cognitive and social psychology approaches, will introduce a physiological indicator for self-regulation that has mainly been ignored from cognitive andSocial psychology, cardiac vagal control.

Attachment relationships as determinants of physical health.

TL;DR: Recent evidence that attachment insecurity has the potential to impair physical health throughout the lifespan is surveyed and the proposed attachment insecurity contributes to disease risk through a range of mechanisms.

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.
