OBJECTIVE: Interhemispheric and intrahemispheric balance models may be integrated to
gain an increased understanding of how cerebral systems are involved in the regulation of …

Introduction: The increasing burden on mental health has become a worldwide concern
especially due to its substantial negative social and economic impact. The implementation of …

Objectives Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) modulates brain
activity and heart function. The induced parasympathetic predominance leads to an increase …

In the resting state, heartbeats evoke cortical responses called heartbeat-evoked responses
(HERs), which reflect cortical cardiac interoceptive processing. While previous studies have …

Physiological and neuroimaging studies suggest that human actions are characterized by
time-varying engagement of functional distributed networks within the brain. In this study, we …

The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is involved in central nervous system (CNS)‐mediated
cardiovascular modulation. We compared the cardiovascular effects of electrical stimulation …

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate the excitability of
stimulated cortical areas, such as prefrontal areas involved in emotion regulation. Low …

Cognition is a major subject to be addressed nowadays due to the increasing number of
cognitively affected people in most societies. Because of a lack of pharmaceutical therapies …

Objective: Brain–heart interactions involve bidirectional effects produced by bottom-up input
at each heartbeat, and top-down neural regulatory responses of the brain. While the cortical …

The effect of ventral medial frontal cortex (MFC) lesions on heart rate and blood pressure
during conditioned emotional responses (CER) was investigated. Male Sprague-Dawley …
