Effects of voice on emotional arousal
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Music is a powerful medium capable of eliciting a broad range of emotions. Although the relationship between language and music is well documented, relatively little is known about the effects of lyrics and the voice on ... -
Low respiratory sinus arrhythmia and prolonged psychophysiological arousal in posttraumatic stress disorder: heart rate dynamics and individual differences in arousal regulation
(Elsevier BV, 2004)Background: There is extensive evidence that the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system can modulate psychophysiological arousal. To date, no studies have investigated associations between cardiac vagal ... -
Neuronal activity (c-Fos) delineating interactions of the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)The cerebral cortex and basal ganglia (BG) form a neural circuit that is disrupted in disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. We found that neuronal activity (c-Fos) in the BG followed cortical activity, i.e., high in arousal ... -
The startle reflex in schizophrenia: habituation and personality correlates
(Elsevier BV, 2003)Schizophrenia has long been associated with abnormal patterns of arousal that are thought to reflect disturbances in the reticular-activating system of the brain. Psychophysiological investigations of sensory responsivity ... -
Thalamic reticular nucleus induces fast and local modulation of arousal state
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2015)During low arousal states such as drowsiness and sleep, cortical neurons exhibit rhythmic slow wave activity associated with periods of neuronal silence. Slow waves are locally regulated, and local slow wave dynamics are ... -
Turning a Negative into a Positive: Ascending GABAergic Control of Cortical Activation and Arousal
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Recent technological advances have illuminated the role of GABAergic neurons in control of cortical arousal and sleep. Sleep-promoting ...
