EMDR's neurobiological mechanisms of action: A survey of 20 years of searching.

TL;DR: The neurobiological studies of EMDR, as well as the theoretically driven speculative models that have been posited to date, are reviewed to illustrate their growth in Neurobiological complexity and specificity.

A primitive social circuit: vasotocin-substance P interactions modulate social behavior through a peripheral feedback mechanism in goldfish.

TL;DR: VT inhibits social approach by activating SP cells in the hindbrain, which then induce changes in body state that feed back to the brain, suggesting that this VT mechanism selectively affects appetitive social responses.

Do infants exhibit significant cortisol reactivity to the Face-to-Face Still-Face paradigm? A narrative review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the HPA axis correlates of FFSF stress regulation were examined through a narrative review and a meta-analysis, which revealed that infants tend to show a clearly observable activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in response to the socio-emotional stress elicited by the face-to-face still-face paradigm, although considerable variation in methodology and sample characteristics was documented.

Social touch, CT touch and massage therapy: A narrative review

TL;DR: In this article, a narrative review summarizes research on three forms of touch that have enhanced development and well-being, including social touch, CT touch, and massage therapy, focusing on the role of touch during early mother-infant interactions and later romantic relationships.

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.
