The polyvagal perspective

TL;DR: The polyvagal perspective emphasizes how an understanding of neurophysiological mechanisms and phylogenetic shifts in neural regulation leads to different questions, paradigms, explanations, and conclusions regarding autonomic function in biobehavioral processes than peripheral models.

Autonomic nervous system activity in emotion: A review

TL;DR: A review of 134 publications that report experimental investigations of emotional effects on peripheral physiological responding in healthy individuals suggests considerable ANS response specificity in emotion when considering subtypes of distinct emotions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heart Rate Variability as an Index of Regulated Emotional Responding

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a theoretical and empirical rationale for the use of HRV as an index of individual differences in regulated emotional responding, and two major theoretical frameworks that articulate the role of heart rate variability in emotional responding are presented, and relevant empirical literature is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compassion: An Evolutionary Analysis and Empirical Review

TL;DR: This empirical review reveals compassion to have distinct appraisal processes attuned to undeserved suffering; distinct signaling behavior related to caregiving patterns of touch, posture, and vocalization; and a phenomenological experience and physiological response that orients the individual to social approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity.

TL;DR: The Adaptive Calibration Model is presented, an evolutionary-developmental theory of individual differences in the functioning of the stress response system that extends the theory of biological sensitivity to context (BSC) and provides an integrative framework for future research in the field.

Cardiac and Respiratory Function During Sudden Prolonged Immobility in Wild Rodents

TL;DR: Recently captured wild rodents of six different species were tested in a standard “open field” arena where they were subjected to sudden visual and auditory stimulation as well as to a natural predator.

Pattern of Cardiorespiratory Afferent Convergence to Solitary Tract Neurons Driven by Pulmonary Vagal C-Fiber Stimulation in the Mouse

TL;DR: The central integration of signals from pulmonary vagal C-fibers with those arising from cardiac, peripheral chemoreceptor, and baroreceptor afferents to neurons within the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) was studied in an arterially perfused working heart-brain stem preparation of adult mouse to indicate a high proportion of afferent convergence.

6 Nervous Control of the Heart and Cardiorespiratory Interactions

TL;DR: The stimulation of carotid chemoreceptors can activate higher centers, such as defense areas in mammals, to evoke the defense or visceral alerting response that may culminate in fight or flight.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central oxytocin modulates exercise-induced tachycardia

TL;DR: The results suggest that oxytocinergic projections to the NTS/DMV are stimulated when T rats exercise and that OT released at this level acts on OT receptors to restrain exercise-induced tachycardia.

Hypothalamic projections of medullary catecholamine neurons in the rabbit: a combined catecholamine fluorescence and HRP transport study.

TL;DR: This study complements previous work showing that rabbit A1 and A2 cells have minimal projections to the spinal cord and results in terminal labeling within the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei.
