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.

Role of efferent and afferent vagal nerve activity during reproduction: integrating function of oxytocin on metabolism and behaviour.

TL;DR: Enhanced activity seems to involve central oxytocinergic transmission which increases efferent vagal nerve activity as reflected by altered levels of gastrointestinal hormones in plasma, and in parallel a behaviour pattern characterized by sedation is induced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vasopressin and Oxytocin Responses to Illusory Self-Motion and Nausea in Man*

TL;DR: It is concluded that vasopressin, not oxytocin, neurons in the magnocellular-neurohypophyseal system are activated during vection-induced nausea and gastric dysrhythmias; and illusory self-motion may be used safely to study the neuroendocrine responses to brain-gut interactions and nausea in man.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bronchomotor vagal preganglionic cell bodies in the dog: an anatomic and functional study.

TL;DR: It is concluded that bronchomotor vagal preganglionic cell bodies are located in rostral Aext but not in DMN, whose axons contribute to the pulmonary branches of the vagus nerve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autonomic and endocrine factors in the regulation of food intake

TL;DR: Destruction of the ventromedial hypothalamus produces hyperphagia, hyperinsulinemia and hypertriglyceridemia, and reciprocal changes in the function of the autonomic nervous system appear to provide an adequate explanation for the hyperinsulainemia in this syndrome, and for the reduced heat expenditure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Release of vasopressin and oxytocin by paraventricular stimulation in rats.

TL;DR: Data suggest that AVP and OXT are released from NTS/DMV area fiber terminals during electrical stimulation of descending PVN neurons, consistent with the view that both peptides are involved as neurotransmitters in autonomic regulation.
