A complex interaction exists between the nervous and cardiovascular systems. A large
network of cortical and subcortical brain regions control cardiovascular function via the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia, affecting 2%–3% of the
world's population. Mental and emotional stress, as well as some mental health conditions …

Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a tragic and devastating event
for which the underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood; this study investigated …

The very low-frequency (VLF) band of heart rate variability (HRV) has different
characteristics compared with other HRV components. Here we investigated differences in …

This study aims to uncover brain areas that are functionally linked to complex cardiovascular
oscillations in resting-state conditions. Multi-session functional magnetic resonance imaging …

Emotion perception, occurring in brain areas such as the prefrontal cortex and amygdala,
involves autonomic responses affecting cardiovascular dynamics. However, how such brain …

Bipolar disorder (BD) is characterized by an alternation of mood states from depression to
(hypo) mania. Mixed states, ie, a combination of depression and mania symptoms at the …

Objective Cardiorespiratory function alterations are commonly observed with epileptic
seizures and may lead to syncope and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) …

Purpose: The temporal lobe, a critical hub for cognition, also plays a central role in the
regulation of autonomic cardiovascular functions. Lesions in this area are usually associated …

Purpose Seizure-induced cardiorespiratory and autonomic dysfunction has long been
recognized, and growing evidence points to its implication in sudden unexpected death in …
