Social Ties, Health and Wellbeing: A Literature Review and Model

TL;DR: In this article, the GENIAL [genomics-environment-vagus nerve-social interaction-allostatic regulation-longevity] model is proposed, and important mediators and moderators are characterized along a pathway to wellbeing and longevity.

Traumatic stress and the autonomic brain-gut connection in development: Polyvagal Theory as an integrative framework for psychosocial and gastrointestinal pathology.

TL;DR: A plausible explanatory framework is introduced, based on the Polyvagal Theory, which describes how evolution impacted the structure and function of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and provides organizing principles for understanding the development of adaptive diversity in homeostatic, threat-response, and psychosocial functions that contribute to pathology.

When early experiences build a wall to others' emotions: an electrophysiological and autonomic study.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that early aversive experiences alter not only emotion recognition but also facial mimicry of emotions and affect the autonomic regulation of social behaviors inducing lower social predisposition after the visualization of facial expressions and an ineffective recruitment of defensive behavior in response to non-threatening expressions.

Emotional processes in human-robot interaction during brief cognitive testing

TL;DR: It is argued that, far from being a trivial ‘cosmetic change’, using a social robot in place of traditional testing could be a potential way to open up the development of a new generation of tests for brief cognitive assessment.

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.
