Summary: The study aimed to define the spatial organization of intrathoracic parasympathetic and sympathetic efferent projections to the heart. The majority of parasympathetic and sympathetic cardiac-evoked responses were mitigated after debranching of the right vagosympathetic trunk (VST) rostral to heart. These findings contribute to the implementation of targeted neuromodulation-based therapeutics for the treatment of cardiac disease.

Summary: Parental socialization may influence the development of children's autonomic nervous system, particularly the parasympathetic nervous system. A meta-analysis revealed that positive parenting is positively associated with higher resting parasympathetic nervous system activity in children. This association is more pronounced in experimental studies and when the sample includes children with a clinical condition.

Summary: This study summarizes the methodological aspects to be considered in both research and clinical settings when assessing HRV, including the validity and reproducibility of the device, the influence of software for artefact correction, previous conditions, proper conditions during assessment, data selection and statistical analysis approach post-assessment, and the role of heart rate in associations between different CVD risk factors outcomes and HRV-derived parameters.

Summary: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the pathological remodeling that occurs within the autonomic nervous system with cardiac injury and available neuromodulatory therapies for autonomic dysfunction in heart failure. Data from peer-reviewed publications on autonomic function in health and after cardiac injury are reviewed, and the role of various neuromodulatory therapies in clinical practice is summarized.

Summary: This study investigated the brain responses of takotsubo syndrome patients during the acute and recovery phases, and found that their limbic responses to aversive visual stimuli were attenuated during the acute phase but recovered within three months. This finding is important for understanding the neural mechanisms of takotsubo syndrome.

Summary: This study found that there were differences in baseline cutaneous perfusion between patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and chronic insomnia disorder (CID), and red light therapy significantly increased cutaneous finger perfusion in AD patients but decreased it in CID patients. These results suggest that cutaneous perfusion can be used as a tool to detect sympathetic dysfunction in CID and AD patients, and red light therapy may be a potential therapeutic intervention for improving sympathetic function in these patients.

Summary: This study analyzed the behavior of ChE and its relationship with HRV indicators in volleyball players during post-exercise recovery. The results showed that ChE modifications were related to changes in HRV, displaying a very similar behavior among the study subjects. ChE was found to have correlations with moderate and large HRV indexes.

Summary: This article introduces the composition and functions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and describes its role in stress and maladaptation. By studying the neuroanatomy of the ANS, a model is proposed to understand its importance in maintaining health and causing diseases.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the sex-specific effects of capsaicin on cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. The results revealed that capsaicin had a promoting effect on ANS activity in males, while it had an inhibitory effect in females. This difference may be due to varying sensitivity of the transient receptor potential vanilloid channel-1 (TRPV1) afferents, and should be further explored in future studies.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the applicability of heart rate variability indices in determining the second ventilatory threshold (VT2), with results showing a significant correlation between ECG-derived respiration and high frequency product with VT2. The findings suggest that both high frequency product and ECG-derived respiration are reliable methods for assessing VT2 in a field shuttle run test.

Summary: Studies show that the autonomic nervous system has a significant impact on overall health. In modern societies, an unhealthy lifestyle contributes to dysfunction in this system. While physical exercise has well-known positive effects on health, its negative impact needs to be studied further.

Summary: Traditionally, rHRV is measured over a 10-minute period, with the last 5 minutes used for analysis. This study found that in pregnant women, the 4th-5th minute segment was most consistent with the criterion period, while in nonpregnant women, it was the 2nd-3rd-minute segment. The stability of Ln rMSSD from the 5th-10th minute and the 3rd-10th minute suggests the possibility of shortening rHRV assessment in clinical/exercise-training settings.

Summary: Research on heart rate variability in recent years has shown that changes in environmental temperature can impact the autonomic nervous system activity. Exposure to hot conditions led to a reduction in heart rate variability, mainly due to parasympathetic withdrawal. Therefore, consistent temperature conditions are important for accurate and reliable consecutive measurements.

Summary: A comprehensive assessment of the effects of musicianship and absolute pitch on intrinsic functional and structural connectivity showed robust effects of musicianship on brain networks, while the effects of absolute pitch appeared to be more subtle. Long-term musical training is associated with significant changes in large-scale brain networks.
