Developmental trajectories of autonomic functioning in autism from birth to early childhood.

TL;DR: The slowed RSA growth in autism was most evident after 18 months of age, at a time when behavioral symptoms become prominent, consistent with the view that RSA is a marker of functional status in autism rather than a cause of social deficits in autism.

Emotional Dysfunction in Psychopathology and Neuropathology: Neural and Genetic Pathways

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current state of knowledge about neural and genetic pathways that influence three emotional processes: emotional reactivity, regulation, and affiliation, which are all critical for daily living and maintaining mental and physical health; each is highly vulnerable to disruption in psychopathology and neuropathology.

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.
