Depression in mothers.

TL;DR: This article addresses the complexity of that risk and the essential role of development in a model that explains processes of transmission and summarizes current theoretical models of mechanisms of risk for the development of psychopathology in children of depressed mothers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consciousness without a cerebral cortex: a challenge for neuroscience and medicine.

TL;DR: It is suggested that brainstem mechanisms are integral to the constitution of the conscious state, and that an adequate account of neural mechanisms of conscious function cannot be confined to the thalamocortical complex alone.

Sudarshan Kriya Yogic Breathing in the Treatment of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Part I—Neurophysiologic Model

TL;DR: A neurophysiologic model of yogic breathing is proposed to integrate research on yoga with polyvagal theory, vagal stimulation, hyperventilation, and clinical observations to help clarify mechanisms contributing to a state of calm alertness.

Emotion Recognition in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Relations to Eye Gaze and Autonomic State

TL;DR: Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia, heart rate, and accuracy and latency of emotion recognition were evaluated in children with autism spectrum disorders and typically developing children while viewing videos of faces slowly transitioning from a neutral expression to one of six basic emotions.

Dysregulation of the Right Brain: A Fundamental Mechanism of Traumatic Attachment and the Psychopathogenesis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder:

TL;DR: Disorganised-disoriented insecure attachment, a pattern common in infants abused in the first 2 years of life, is psychologically manifest as an inability to generate a coherent strategy for coping with relational stress, suggesting that early intervention programs can significantly alter the intergenerational transmission of posttraumatic stress disorders.

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.
