The emotion paradox in the aging body and brain

M Mather - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
With age, parasympathetic activity decreases, while sympathetic activity increases. Thus, the
typical older adult has low heart rate variability (HRV) and high noradrenaline levels …

Daily heart rate variability biofeedback training decreases locus coeruleus MRI contrast in younger adults in a randomized clinical trial

SL Bachman, S Cole, HJ Yoo, K Nashiro, J Min… - International Journal of …, 2023 - Elsevier
As an arousal hub region in the brain, the locus coeruleus (LC) has bidirectional
connections with the autonomic nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based …

Daily biofeedback to modulate heart rate oscillations affects structural volume in hippocampal subregions targeted by the locus coeruleus in older adults but not …

HJ Yoo, K Nashiro, S Dutt, J Min, C Cho, JF Thayer… - Neurobiology of …, 2023 - Elsevier
Using data from a clinical trial, we tested the hypothesis that daily sessions modulating heart
rate oscillations affect older adults' volume of a region-of-interest (ROI) comprised of …

Resting heart rate variability is associated with neural adaptation when repeatedly exposed to emotional stimuli

J Min, J Koenig, K Nashiro, HJ Yoo, C Cho, JF Thayer… - Neuropsychologia, 2024 - Elsevier
Higher heart rate variability (HRV) at rest is associated with better emotion regulation ability.
While the neurovisceral integration model explains this by postulating that HRV can index …
