Brief Report: Social Skills, Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms, and Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia in Autism.

TL;DR: Assessment of RSA, social functioning, and internalizing/externalizing symptoms among boys with and without ASD suggests a role for integrative intervention strategies that address socioemotional difficulties.

Early adversity, RSA, and inhibitory control: Evidence of children's neurobiological sensitivity to social context

TL;DR: Parasympathetic physiology as a moderator of the effects of early adversity on children's inhibitory control was examined and the importance of considering context specificity in how biomarkers inform the understanding of individual differences in vulnerability among at-risk children was discussed.

Physiological reactivity and different forms of aggression in girls: moderating roles of rejection sensitivity and peer rejection.

TL;DR: Overall, findings indicated that blunted "fight or flight" was associated with relational aggression whereas heightened "fightor flight"was associated with physical aggression, particularly in the context of high social and cognitive risk.

A phylogenetic journey through the vague and ambiguous Xth cranial nerve: a commentary on contemporary heart rate variability research.

TL;DR: The contributions to this special issue describe research representing different levels of scientific inquiry and focus on different features of the complex neural feedback system that are manifested in the robust relationships between heart rate variability and several behavioral, psychological, physiological, and health processes.

Pharmacology of Ultrasonic Vocalizations in adult Rats: Significance, Call Classification and Neural Substrate.

TL;DR: Pharmacological studies of emotional arousal and initiation of emotional states in rats measured by their ultrasonic vocalizations are reviewed and it is postulated that emission of vocalizations is an inseparable feature ofotional states and it evolved from mother-infant interaction.

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.
