“…Weiner has elegantly traced the theoretical implications of several studies which demonstrate independent pathways for behavioral and physiologic responses to a given experience (13). His concept of "transduction" should be particularly useful in studies of early developmental experience where the young organism's highly interrelated environment is often widely affected by an apparently discrete experience.…”

Two week old rat pups were separated from their mothers and fed milk through previously implanted gastric cannulas at 3 different constant infusion rates for 24 h. A 4th group remained unfed. Cardiac and respiratory rates fell 40% in the unfed group and were maintained by the higher infusion rates. A close overall relationship was found between weight change and changes in cardiac rate (r = 0.79) and respiratory rate (r = 0.54). In contrast, the behavior of these pups in an unfamiliar test area, although clearly different from normally mothered pups was unrelated to the level of nutritional intake.The results demonstrate nutritional regulation of cardiac and respiratory systems and independence of behavior from nutritional intake during the day following separation. The concomitant physiological and behavioral responses to the experience of maternal separation appear to have independent underlying mechanisms.

“…Recently we have found a marked diurnal variation in natural killer activity. 1 These data should make us cognizant of the sketchy nature of the base-line patterns of immunologic variations against which attempts have been made to measure the effects of psychological stress. It is obvious that methodologic approaches in the future need to be very precise about not only the gender of the subject, but the exact stage of the life cycle and the time of day during which measurements are taken.…”

“…For example, developments in endocrinology, cardiovascular and renal physiology, and neurophysiology have each been associated with surges of research on the relationship between mental states and disorders and normal functions of these specific areas. As new biological techniques and approaches emerge, they become the instruments of investigators who are trying to narrow the gap in the psychosomatic process referred to by Weiner as "the transduction of experience" (1).…”

The Influence of the Psyche and the Brain on Immunity and Disease Susceptibility: A Critical Review

In critically reviewing the sources of evidence connecting psyche and brain with the immune system, the authors include a brief review of current knowledge of the immune system, its interactions with the neuroendocrine system, and other factors influencing its regulation. These include developmental stages, aging, rhythmicity, and a variety of exogenous influences. The need for developing further information about normal base lines is emphasized. Against that background, many sources of data demonstrating connections between the central nervous system and the immune system are presented: indirect evidence from clinical and experimental illnesses involving the immune system, and direct changes in either humoral or cellular immunity after natural or experimental stress, conditioning, hypnosis, and direct brain stimulation. Possible mechanisms are discussed, as well as some important methodological issues for further research.

“…[25][26][27][28][29][30] Yet, psychological processing, long thought of as part of a healing mechanism, is commonly referred to as understanding and internalizing. 31 Formed memories of either external events or of internal experiences are split up, reorganized and interpreted within a personal context or an autobiographical narrative. Commonalities in the process of psychological recovery and healing across different schools of thought have been outlined, 32 and an integrative function of healing during psychotherapy has been proposed.…”

Transprocessing: a proposed neurobiological mechanism of psychotherapeutic processing

How does the human brain absorb information and turn it into skills of its own in psychotherapy? In an attempt to answer this question, the authors will review the intricacies of processing channels in psychotherapy and propose the term transprocessing (as in transduction and processing combined) for the underlying mechanisms. Through transprocessing the brain processes multimodal memories and creates reparative solutions in the course of psychotherapy. Transprocessing is proposed as a stage-sequenced mechanism of deconstruction of engrained patterns of response. Through psychotherapy, emotional-cognitive reintegration and its consolidation is accomplished. This process is mediated by cellular and neural plasticity changes.
