The neurovisceral integration model posits that cardiac vagal tone, indexed by heart rate
variability (HRV), can indicate the functional integrity of the neural networks implicated in …

We examined whether cardiac vagal tone (indexed by heart rate variability, HRV) was
associated with the functioning of selective attention under load. Participants were instructed …

The current research examines whether trait anxiety is associated with negative
interpretation bias when resolving valence ambiguity of surprised faces. To further isolate …

Despite the growing consensus that the continuous dynamic cortical representations of
internal bodily states shape the subjective experience of emotions, physiological arousal is …

Regular physical exercise leads to increased vagal modulation of the cardiovascular
system. A combination of peripheral and central processes has been proposed to underlie …

Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which,
autonomic dysfunction is a common manifestation. Brain area atrophy also involves the …

The subcortical visual pathway to the amygdala has long been considered a rapid and
crude stream for processing emotionally salient information that is reliant on low spatial …

Background Deficits in facial emotion processing is a major characteristic of patients with
panic disorder. It is known that visual stimuli with different spatial frequencies take distinct …

Purpose This study investigated whether subjective levels of anxiety predict respiratory
sinus arrythmia (RSA) levels in adults who stutter (AWS) compared to (ANS) during baseline …

After a sublethal ischemic preconditioning (IPC) stimulus, the brain has a remarkable
capability of acquiring tolerance to subsequent ischemic insult by establishing precautionary …
