The neurobiology of human crying.

TL;DR: The current state of the literature investigating the neurobiologic aspects of this uniquely human behavior is reviewed, including the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and psychophysiologic findings.

Co-Morbidity between Cardiovascular Pathology and Depression: Role of Inflammation

TL;DR: Understanding vascular biology in conjunction with psychiatric co-morbidity will be of critical importance and may reverse the pro-inflammatory status associated with depression.

Salivary α-amylase and intended harsh caregiving in response to infant crying: evidence for physiological hyperreactivity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that failure to habituate to repeated infant crying may be one of the mediating mechanisms through which excessive, inconsolable, and high-pitched infant crying triggers less optimal caregiving.

Heart rate and respiration in reptiles: contrasts between a sit-and-wait predator and an intensive forager.

TL;DR: Investigating respiration and heart rate in two species of reptiles with distinct behavioral strategies demonstrated that although there were strong vagal influences on the heart, respiratory activity was not manifested in the heart rate pattern of the plated lizards, and the monitor exhibited a reliable ventilatory influence on theHeart rate pattern, although the pattern differed from the respiratory sinus arrhythmia observed in mammals.

Childhood Maltreatment, Self-esteem, and Suicidal Ideation in a Low-SES Emerging Adult Sample: The Moderating Role of Heart Rate Variability

TL;DR: Interventions that bolster self-esteem and emotion regulation may reduce suicide risk for emerging adults with a history of childhood maltreatment and examine the moderating role of heart rate variability (HRV; a proxy for emotion regulation) in this indirect association.

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.
