When you go low, I go high: Negative coordination of physiological synchrony among parents and children.

TL;DR: It is suggested that positive physiological synchrony during a negative mood condition may not be adaptive for children when their caretaker lacks the skills to appropriately socialize their child's emotional development.

Aggression as an equifinal outcome of distinct neurocognitive and neuroaffective processes

TL;DR: The results indicate that 90% of children in the high aggression group could be characterized as either low in verbal ability or high in physiological arousal (resting skin conductance), which indicates etiologic heterogeneity within the construct of aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI

One hundred and fifty years on: The history, significance and scope of body psychotherapy today

TL;DR: Body psychotherapy involves a rich and explicit theory, study, and practice of the human body-mind relationship from Janet to Reich to the present day as discussed by the authors, which is not hierarchical, nor something that suggests the unification of an age-old split, but represents a unitive functioning with indivisible interactive aspects of the whole human being.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder as a disturbance of security motivation: constraints on comorbidity.

TL;DR: The theoretical plausibility that in OCD much of the domain of co-morbid presentations encompasses related perturbations of the security motivation system is examined, as well as the likelihood that the phenomenon of “spread of allied reflexes” can produce other security-related psychiatric conditions.
Dissertation

Pain is Mechanism

TL;DR: The authors argued that the relationship between the experience of pain and specific physiological mechanisms is best understood as one of type identity and proposed a polyvagal-type identity theory of the mammalian pain face.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
