Chronic Diffuse Pain and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders After Traumatic Stress: Pathophysiology Through a Polyvagal Perspective.

TL;DR: A novel conceptualization points to a pathogenesis rooted in changes to brain-body autonomic feedback loops in response to evolutionarily-salient threat cues, providing an integrated biopsychosocial model of chronic diffuse pain and FGIDs and suggesting new, non-pharmacological treatment strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blunted vagal reactivity predicts stress-precipitated tobacco smoking

TL;DR: The current findings are the first to experimentally demonstrate that stress-precipitated decreased vagal reactivity predicts the ability to resist smoking and suggest that strategies that normalize vagal reactsivity in early abstinent smokers may lead to improved smoking cessation outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tailoring therapeutic strategies for treating posttraumatic stress disorder symptom clusters

TL;DR: This review will examine each symptom cluster of PTSD separately, giving case study examples of patients who exhibit a preponderance of a given symptom domain, using a translational approach in describing the underlying neurobiology that is relevant to particular symptoms and treatment options.

A Heart and A Mind: Self-distancing Facilitates the Association Between Heart Rate Variability, and Wise Reasoning.

TL;DR: Cardiac vagal tone (indexed via resting heart rate variability) has been previously associated with superior executive functioning, but higher HRV may not be associated with greater wisdom when adopting a self-immersed perspective, and implications for research on psychophysiology, cognition, and wisdom are discussed.

Maternal mood and neuroendocrine programming: effects of time of exposure and sex

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is found that both pre‐ and postnatal maternal anxiety and depression have sustained programming effects on the SNS and HPA axis.

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.
