Person-Centered Spiritual Maturation: A Multidimensional Model

TL;DR: In this paper, a multidimensional model of person-centered psychospiritual maturation is presented, which describes five dimensions of self that can be dysregulated by humanity's chain of pain: bio-behavioral, cognitive-sociocultural, social-emotional, existential-spiritual, and integrative worldview formation.

Emotional Arousal During Social Stress in Young Adults With Autism: Insights From Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability and Self-Report

TL;DR: The results suggest a mismatch between arousal regulation and emotional awareness, which may be related to problems in social adaptation in ASD.

The Integration of Vocal Communication and Biobehavioral State Regulation in Mammals: A Polyvagal Hypothesis

TL;DR: This chapter describes the integrated neural pathways that link the regulation of supradiaphragmatic organs with hearing sensitivity and vocalization production and proposes that these neural links evolved as part of a mammalian social engagement system that coordinates physiological states between conspecifics to optimize and signal defensive and prosocial emotional responses.

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.
