Vagal Regulation and Internalizing Psychopathology among Adolescents Exposed to Childhood Adversity

TL;DR: High resting RSA predicted greater vagal rebound and accelerated heart rate recovery following the TSST, highlighting one potential mechanism underlying low internalizing symptoms following CA among youths with high vagal tone.

Craniosacral therapy for chronic pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

TL;DR: In patients with chronic pain, this meta-analysis suggests significant and robust effects of CST on pain and function lasting up to six months, except for six-month mental quality of life versus sham.

A Review of the Relation Between Dissociation, Memory, Executive Functioning and Social Cognition in Military Members and Civilians with Neuropsychiatric Conditions

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that functional sensory deafferentation at the level of the thalamus may underlie reduced attention and arousal leading to progressive cognitive dysfunction and altered functional connectivity between key brain networks implicated in cognitive functioning may represent a critical neurobiological mechanism linking dissociative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction in patients with PTSD-DS and transdiagnostically.

Dissociation of sad facial expressions and autonomic nervous system responding in boys with disruptive behavior disorders

TL;DR: Time-linked correspondence of sad facial expressions and autonomic reactivity during an empathy-eliciting task among boys with disruptive behavior disorders and controls was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociative experiences and dissociative minds: Exploring a nomological network of dissociative functioning

TL;DR: Results of the study support the view that people who suffer from severe dissociative experiences may also have difficulties mentalizing and regulating affects and that they may feel uncomfortable in close relationships because they have a negative view of the self.

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.
