The paper shows that in male adolescents, lower cardiac vagal regulation links to greater emotion dysregulation and psychopathology, mediated by interoceptive accuracy, while this pathway is absent in females.

This study links human brain functional connectivity to neurotransmitter systems using resting-state fMRI and MEG across multiple cohorts, showing consistent patterns and clinical relevance.

This study links early autonomic nervous system development to adolescent psychosocial outcomes, finding male-specific associations between infant heart rate and vagal heart rate variability trajectories and later psychosocial difficulties.

This study links vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) with longitudinal cortical thinning patterns in adolescents, showing region-specific associations during cortical maturation.

This study shows thymus size changes across the menstrual cycle in women, linked to estradiol and progesterone levels, and influenced by hormonal contraception.

This study shows that exposure to urban green spaces reduces subjective stress and physiological arousal compared to gray spaces during naturalistic walking.

This study investigates whether ghrelin modulates risky decision-making through homeostatic state changes but finds no credible effects on behavior or neural activity.

This study investigates the effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on heart rate and variability, finding that it decreases HRV without altering HR.
