Identifying brain systems that regulate or modulate autonomic nervous system functions may
identify pathways through which psychosocial factors can influence health and disease …

Objective: Previous research has demonstrated that prefrontal activity is related to control
over stress responses. However, the causal mechanisms are not well understood. In this …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique
used both experimentally and therapeutically to modulate regional brain function. However …

The neurovisceral integration model aims to account for the complex interplay between
physiological, cognitive, and emotion regulation processes through their support by common …

Regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, indexed through high frequency heart
rate variability (HF-HRV), is indicative of physical and psychological health. However, little is …

Direct and indirect links between brain regions and cardiac function have been reported. We
performed a systematic literature review to summarize current knowledge regarding the …

The recent focus on the bidirectional heart–brain interactions in psychoneurophysiological
research has led to a variety of findings suggesting vagal activity is associated with cognition …

In the present paper we describe a model of neurovisceral integration in which a set of
neural structures involved in cognitive, affective and autonomic regulation are related to …

Objective To investigate whether anodal high-definition transcranial current stimulation (HD-
tDCS) over the left dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex (DLPFC) could modulate the heart rate …

Studies of heart rate variability (HRV) have so far produced contradictory evidence to
support the common belief that endurance training enhances cardiac parasympathetic tone …
