Causal interactions between the cerebral cortex and the autonomic nervous system

Abstract: Mental states such as stress and anxiety can cause heart disease. On the other hand, meditation can improve cardiac performance. In this study, the heart rate variability, directed transfer function and corrected conditional entropy were used to investigate the effects of mental tasks on cardiac performance, and the functional coupling between the cerebral cortex and the heart. When subjects tried to decrease their heart rate by volition, the sympathetic nervous system was inhibited and the heart rate decrease… Show more

“…Time series analysis allows the exploration of the dynamical interactions between physiological systems. Recent advanced signal processing tools, such as multivariate method based on Granger causality, investigate the neural and cardiac time series and demonstrate a functional coupling between the brain and the heart ( Yu et al, 2014 ; Porta and Faes, 2016 ). In particular, reciprocal influence between cardiac component and the EEG power has been reported ( Faes et al, 2014 ).…”

“…The time scale of the oscillatory activities for which we assessed regularity and connectivity is longer than the scale investigated in other recent studies performing a joint dynamic analysis of EEG and HRV time series [12,47]. While in [12,47] the time series samples were obtained with a one second resolution, our sampling period was of one minute.…”

“…The time scale of the oscillatory activities for which we assessed regularity and connectivity is longer than the scale investigated in other recent studies performing a joint dynamic analysis of EEG and HRV time series [12,47]. While in [12,47] the time series samples were obtained with a one second resolution, our sampling period was of one minute. Moreover, the dynamic interactions among time series built in the same way as that used in this study were documented to occur with a maximal strength between brain and heart oscillations having a period greater than 15 min [3], while on the contrary several transitions in the strength of physiological interactions were observed in [12] within epochs of a few minutes.…”

“…Subjects in these studies are recruited based on the history of their neurological disorder [21]- [44] diabetes [45], [46], obesity [46], cardiovascular disease [25], [27], [30], [34], [42], [45]- [47], muscular issues [44], [48], and sleep disorder [49]. People who are taking medications [21], [22], [32], [43], [45], [46], [50]- [52], smoking [21], [39], [45], [49], [51], alcohol, tea, coffee [22], [25], [35], [37], [38], [45], [52], [53] are not considered. People who had done strenuous exercise before the experiment are avoided [22], [37], [38], [44], [52].…”
