Proximity and gaze influences facial temperature: a thermal infrared imaging study.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the powerful effects of another person's gaze on psycho-physiological responses, even at a distance and independent of context, and strong correlations in thermal changes between six areas of the face for all experimental conditions.
Dissertation

Attachment and abandonment: a study of factors contributing to or hindering the development of trust and functional family behaviour

Carol A. Boyd
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the lives of individual children and adults of diverse ages and ethnicities, who suffer common and uncommon abandonment, and employ a naturalistic "inquiry from the inside" approach and involve intensive participant observation on the part of the researcher.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between Cold Face Test-induced vagal inhibition and cortisol response to acute stress.

TL;DR: The results indicate that a faster CFT response is associated with reduced cortisol increase and enhanced mood after acute stress, and support an inverse relationship between vagal function and the HPA axis.

Heart rate variability in unmedicated patients with bipolar disorder in the manic phase.

TL;DR: There has been no adequate study that has investigated resting HRV in unmedicated patients with bipolar disorder in the manic state and the proposed decreased heart rate variability has been proposed in bipolar disorder.

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.
